I usually tend to agree, though sh vs bash does occasionally make a

I don't mean the sh vs bash portability issues, but rather if you have to start
thinking if ksh or csh or *sh gives you more power/capabilities than bash you
shouln't use any shell.

Both Korn and c-shell have good and bad points. Korn is similar to bash

a choice of many K&R C programmers historically, but from what I can tell,
shell programming is falling out of favor for 'newer' languages in
general.
IMO, if the difference between the different shells starts to matter, you
have probably crossed the line into something that really should be written
in a different language :-)
