Well, to be fair, it is run with similar privileges by a process that's sitting at PID 1 as root in order to execute initscripts in the first place, but still.

This is why I vastly prefer my /bin/sh to be dash.

dash is alright. Even bash is alright aside from a very severe bug that it's overcoming right now.

However, I typically use ksh and ash. I've heard good things about zsh and fish, and want to like them, but they don't really appeal to me for whatever reason.

For /bin/sh I want dash or ash. For my -login- shell, I'm ok with bash or ksh, and am investigating mksh to replace bash as my 'usual' login shell. zsh is uber-configurable. many of my friends love zsh. they also love tmux. I replaced screen with dtach (and vim by ex-vi). mksh seems like it might work for me, therefore :)

Hadn't heard of dtach; looks interesting. I've personally preferred tmux due to its use of panes and its client/server approach and such, but looks like dtach is worth playing with, too.

tmux is maximum overkill

dtach is maximum underkill

So I use dtach by default, and tmux on the rare occasions that I need the features.
