Honestly, these arguments have floated around for years. I am not a bash
lover either, but lets be honest - changing the default root shell from
/sbin/sh to something like bash is well... silly.
That doesnt mean that sh could not be modernized a bit.
Bash is and most likely always will be an option for Solaris users.
Should it be the default? Probably not.
Just my 0.02

As for a "better shell experience", my stomach turns when I see people
executing `bash`. It's disgusting. `tcsh` is light years ahead in user
friendliness and features as compared to `bash`, but rest assured,
every user that I saw execute `bash` did so because THEY HAD NO CLUE
what `tcsh` is and that it was right there, bundled with Solaris.
It never stops to amaze me to hear things like this, i've been a unix
admin for a long time too, but at least I wouldn't have said something
as ridiculous as that.
For the record, i've written enture programs in bash, and wouldn't look
back.
I don't expect to change anyone's mind though, i've noticed the truth is
painful around here. I used to think linux was something to ignore too,
who needed another version of unix right?
