Bash can't be considered superior to anything due to its instability. It 
is in forever-work-in-progress mode, without gaining any stability over 
time. Last week I found another bug in bash just by pressing "backspace" 
button in the middle of some command. Bash team officially refuses to 
maintain any bug tracking tools, and uses the mailing list instead. So 
the bugs I reported years ago are still not fixed, and there is no 
formal record of them that can be easily searched. Bash departed from 
the very stable and solid Bourne shell, and turned into a mess. Today 
Bourne shell in FreeBSD is far superior to the current bash for the 
reason of its stability, among other reasons. I have spent an extensive 
time with both, and wrote thousands of lines in shell, and this is my 
conclusion. And here goes the credibility of your opinion for me.
