Survey idea courtesy of Jaeil (see link above).
I had to use some discretion to keep the list small, so feel free to use the "moron" option if I made a mistake and left something out that I should have included.

ZShell? ;-)
Really, though, I don't actively use Z80 calculators anymore, unfortunately. The last one I used was the TI-86. I've never owned any of the TI-83/83+/84+ series since the 68K calcs suited my needs better.

...Venus

Although I don't use my 83 very often, I have to say that, from a programmer's standpoint, Venus is the best "shell" (for a sufficiently loose definition of the word) for any of the Z80 calculators.
Venus is fast, it's small, and it doesn't get in your way. Unlike most shells for the 73/82/83/83+, Venus relocates programs without corrupting the variable structure - so Venus programs can safely use all the functions of the OS. It's a shame that more shells weren't designed this way - not to mention the 83 and 83+ OSes themselves! Unfortunately, we're now more-or-less stuck with the existing conventions.

Voted that I do not use the kind of calculators; never bought one, not sure if I ever will.

I have a TI-86, & the closest thing to a shell I ever had on it was a TI-BASIC program I wrote. (My TI-83+ has MirageOS on it, but I never used it much, & now the link port is nearly broken.)

I choose none of the above (I picked the "left out option" option). I find using a "shell" my calculator annoying. I have Mirage OS, but only because most assembly games here require it.

MirageOS forever!
I used Ion way back when but switched to MirageOS pretty early on.

I voted for CrunchyOS. But then the site wanted account verification, so I'm not sure if it counted. I had too many RAM clears with Mirage to like it enough.
