Bash, zshell, BusyBox....you don't really need anything else
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.
Bash is my favourite one, second to it being Fish
oksh
Nushell
Bash. By default it might seem less featureful than zsh.. but bash is a lot more powerful and extensible than some give it credit for. It might be more complex to set it up the way you like it, but once you do it, that configuration can be ported over wherever bash exists (ie. almost everywhere).
Bash as it is what I'm most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.
Zsh with powerlevel10k + a few plugins
Bash, just because everything else already uses it. That and bashisms have infected nearly all of my scripts as I clumsily bump into the limitations of POSIX string manipulation.
I have found some very fun things with sed branching patterns as a result of these limitations though...

zsh because I've been using it since college and I don't like change
zsh with grml config because I'm too lazy to make my own config.
POSIX on servers, thinking of switching to POSIX on desktop but that's a bit awkward
Bash is my login shell, but I have fish set as the default shell for alacritty
I have been enjoying fish a lot over the last few months, but I generally try to use Bash, it makes cross-*NIX administration that much easier.
PowerShell, because of autocomplete and shift+arrows select.
I often end up in ps because I'm more familiar with it. But only if I have to do some scripting or so.
xterm+zsh
PowerShell, with zsh being a close second
Feeling risky today, eh? Mind sharing the reasoning behind your extravagant choice?
Fish & dash.
Zsh on workstations. Bash on servers.
While fish is easy to set up, I can't even be arsed to do that most times, so bash ends up being the one I use most.
I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish
