I'm using fish <http://fishshell.com/> for both scripting (saner syntax, space handling) and interactive (multiline syntax highlighted prompt) and never looked back.
But this makes me consider ipython again, perhaps even as main shell.
Hmm, after %rehashx I can use commands without !, e.g. git diff. <http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/shell.html...
Moreover, this means I can have a notebook experience for my shell. Together with the new directory navigation and friendly URLs this is becoming very attractive!
There is however a deal-breaker: no smart completion for shell commands. But it'd be clearly possible to implement it by harnessing bash (or zsh or fish) for completions.
