Every machine you touch may not have the option of fish. Having a reasonable .bashrc (and even .cshrc -- I've been on machines where bash was broken) is key to doing any sysadmin/dev work on linux/unix boxes.

Right, the only standard shell is sh.

Most systems will have at least bash, csh or tcsh. I've yet to run across a system that only had ksh or zsh (or something exotic).
