What's with all the bash bashing?

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. --=20 Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterling@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://chipsquips.com | http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNZDTKAAoJEIpckszW26+RPOYH/2uYPgElt0Lp18WjX+hApzUc 0gPf2AYP6HdYECO5houB9pL0d2Q5DSBt+xamKCq7WCK4SamTUZPOUnUQKljjwh6I UbtR3Qlc/nXc5z81BOBqTYT8LHTWXFAUGmOfEceif94UGUaOOyrwiNkQhqfR4vQT 6x6eb86c8wacx/h1+bF2Wv+Ei7VE0CK1X24lXlWkqaPoIx6Dn/tMPNA8DbxYegKS TOoVxv/j1fBJveIysQyS68vhPJYuPp3qw11D5MwBgVvflSQB8SpiFbjDtaQCSxn/ etu9xk9lkMqzQbpE/kdC+YbeL/LkRx5+/xiAxBS++EIiRnPoLi7NJl9HsaZGnOo= =VpHZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu--
