Zsh is a superset of Bash. There's little-to-no learning curve from switching, if you just stick with Bash syntax, and many advantages.

Here is a good overview on Zsh vs. Bash [0].

My favorite Zsh feature is the plugin ecosystem [3]. Oh My Zsh [1] and Starship [2] are awesome.

zsh is not a strict superset of bash; I have aliases that I still haven't figured out how to port

I had a script that worked fine in BASH but errored in Zsh. It had to do with arrays and I don't remember the problem.

It was probably that in zsh, arrays start at 1.
