I definitely agree that bash is preferable to zsh (or csh or whatever)
since zsh is even father from POSIX than bash.

But I don't agree to that stipulation, since I've been using Ubuntu for
production work since 2007 writing scripts in /bin/sh and haven't run
into problems in dash.  Of course bugs exist everywhere (even in bash!),
so YMMV for sure :-).
