Why do people keep creating new shells when bash is mostly okay?
There's a massive number of security holes in bash, shellshock being the most egregious. bash has some really terrible design flaws, especially parsing $var multiple times so you can't reliably break on spaces. Almost any other shell is safer and more productive.
