What's with all the bash bashing?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

At least sh scripts will execute correctly under bash -- they don't
always under csh/tcsh.

I like zsh for a command-line shell, but when writing scripts for general
usage I stick with the sh-compatibile subset of capabilities, and I enforce
that on myself with the #!/bin/sh shebang.  If I need more than what that
can gracefully do, I usually run to the arms of Ruby.
