Now that IBM i is moving into *nix-land with PASE (like USS on z/OS)
there are a certain number of ksh users.
Bash has a lot of nice user features. Scripters with decade-plus
experience sometimes prefer ksh.

ksh seems to be the default shell on OpenBSD, as it was (and presumably

Does anybody use Korn these days. The Linux community is pushing bash, and
they're a large part of the *ix community. I don't know what they *bsd

needed to get certified and ignored those things that, while not required for
certification were in widespread use. Does anybody outside of the z world use
the POSIX shell?
