I have played with ksh and others.

But when it comes down to writing something that others use, you can almost always rely on BASH being installed on their machine.

The other shells... not so much. I hear zsh is pretty good though.

I was more referring to the likes of es, rc and Inferno sh. The rest are all just variants of Bourne or C shell in some way, and even then Bourne and C don't have much in the way of compelling differences.
