The BASH shell is a very powerful interactive shell and shell scripting language. While interested in ZSH, KSH, and TCSH, I have chosen BASH as my main shell and shell scripting language. This is due to its power and flexibility, popularity, and availability. I consider CSH outdated in light of TCSH’s existance. Bourne and POSIX benefits seem to be available within BASH, thereby reducing the necessary considerations to the four languages: BASH, TCSH, ZSH, KSH.
