What are the Pro's/Con's of using bash as opposed to the other shells?
That's largely a religious issue. I used csh for my first 6 years or
so of *nix use, switching to ksh around 1988. Personally I like ksh
better than bash or csh/tcsh for interactive use, largely because I
prefer using its ``r'' options to repeat previous commands to the csh
and bash ``!''.
BTW last time I checked (about three weeks ago the ksh93 port was
broken, the old src tarballs have been removed from the servers listed
in the Makefile because they released newer version. Christian
Weisgerber (naddy at mips.inka.de) is listed as the maintainer.

money, it can hire soldiers to stand over him, keep him in subjection,
plunder him at discretion, and kill him if he resists.''
