   BASH is great, it dumps core and has clear documentation.

BASH *is* rather nice.  Yes, as distributed it will dump core on
machines trap a dereferenced NULL, but anyone who has any programming
ability can track that down can fix it (there have been N+1 messages
about this problem on the mailing list) or just reading the mailing
list will also tell you how to fix it.  Let's see you try and fix any
bug you find in a binary-only distribution.  As for clear
documentation, there's Chet's man page and the POSIX spec.  That's at
least as well as most vendors document the shells they ship.
