I'm boycotting FreeBSD until such time as they change the default root shell to ksh or something Bourne compatible. There's just nothing more frustrating then tcsh.
I have not checked lately, but it used to be the case that a lot of things broke if you changed the root shell. Maybe they have fixed that.
I think the "fix" for that is toor. You can change its shell to whatever you like and use it instead of root. Although I've never tried it; I just have an alias that calls sudo -i exec zsh -l, which seems to work great.

Seems a stupid reason, because it takes all of 5 minutes to "fix."

As long as it's not bash I'm happy. Bash is terrible, why would you ever use that?
