Just picking a recent post to reply to...

I've used bash on FreeBSD as the default shell for many years, ever since it became a port.  But I don't change root's shell, because I don't want it pointing off to /usr/local.  If there were a base bash-like shell, I'd use it so long as it had tab completion and up/down arrow for history recall.
