bash
I finally got sick of not having proper shell redirection, and set my Mac OS X box to use bash as my shell. Basically, I ran:
fink selfupdate
fink update-all
fink install bash
Then I just needed to set up
sudo niutil -createprop /
/users/pudge shell /sw/bin/bash
Then in Terminal.app I set it to use the default login for this user.

Bash?!? (Score:2, Interesting)
You wanted proper redirection and you went for bash? What about zsh [zsh.org]? You get way better globbing and completion with that, too.
ls /dev >dev.1 >dev.2
Also, you do get the extremely useful feature from csh of being able to do cmd >& output, which is undeniably useful (although it is convenient to have alternative redirections).
Still, if you must use bash, don't forget to check out bash programmable completion [caliban.org].
