Maybe somebody who doesn't use the shell except for occasional mundane tasks should adopt ZSH, but it's not for anybody who needs to use the shell extensively. the `=~` operator can bite you, the way ZSH handles arrays can bite you, etc. After using ZSH/Oh-My-ZSH for about 9 months I had enough of it. I was using a custom theme that I wrote myself, I ported it to BASH and wrote my own git promptline and I've never looked back. Now I no longer worry about portability

As a systems engineer who works extensively in the Terminal, and as somebody who tried to adopt zsh/oh-my-zsh into my workflow, I can honestly say I would never recommend ZSH to anyody. Sure, you can symlink zsh to a file named after any other shell and emulate that shell, but when you do that it doesn't read your .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc. Also, you cannot put `emulate bash` in your .zprofile or .zshrc files. For anybody who works with advanced features in BASH, there are many subtleties that will bite you. BASH is a better sh.
