In FBSD the base system is completely separate from the applications, that is really great because for example your system upgrades are independendent of applications / ports. The base shell is in the base system so don't replace the shell for the root user but rather start bash from your root account if you wish. This will make sense when your system breaks in an upgrade for example. For everything else you can safely use bash and choose bash for your normal users. I use bash all the time even for root, but in the latter case I start it manually.
