Not only is sh so widespread that it won’t die, but my own backlog of sh scripts, code snippets, config, and muscle memory is so deep that I refuse to use anything that doesn’t have good compatibility with sh.

I also hate it. It’s not the worst piece of software I use everyday, but every time I need to do something more complex than completely routine I find myself fiddling much more than I should have to.
