According to Len Huppe:

I don't hate bash, it is just that it lacks so many cool features of zsh/tcsh
(programmable completion, variables, fancy prompt) and have some key bindings
different from the other shells.

I don't care about POSIX compliancy, something bash has always insisted on.

Ollivier, very heavy tcsh user for 10 years, recently converted to zsh.

PS: note that the next version of bash will have programmable completion.
