Whenever I'm reading about some alternative shell and thinking about switching, I'm afraid of losing my proficiency in bash. For better or worse, it's the de facto standard in scripting, so I see it as an important skill. How does this work for those of you who risked and switched? Don't you feel some kind of schizophrenia, or accidental cross-polination typos/mistakes? How does it work when you login to some remote machine, do you have the alt. shell installed everywhere?
