I have never used all the fancy stuff in BASH such as the arithmetic
functions; I still use "expr" etc for portability.

My favourite shell is still ZSH (the alternative was CSH, and my views on 
that POS are well known) because I started using it long before BASH, and 
even then I use a fraction of its power.  I did dabble with KSH, though (I 
needed command editing and history).
