It's buggy and bloated. It provides much fewer features than zsh yet has a larger memory footprint. It's under GPL. I don't *hate* bash, BTW. I just think it (and every other shell out there) is vastly inferior to zsh. But bash is still better than most. Try zsh. Don't just install it and use it as a drop-in bash replacement, but read the man pages and use its features. For starters, learn to use its extended globbing and its programmable completion. Trust me, you'll get addicted soon enough.
