I always avoid Bash

I prefer Almquist (ash), eg., NetBSD sh, Debian sh with tab completion, busybox ash, etc.

Powershell must be slow and/or bloated like Bash; someone wrote xargs in C++ for Windows:

Bash is not the default scripting shell on Debian

Given that its manpage states that Bash is slow, perhaps it is not well-suited to be a scripting shell (cf. an interactive shell)
