Apple's most affordable MacBook ever appears to be a resounding hit with customers, based on comments shared by CEO Tim Cook this week. On an earnings call on Thursday, Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo has been "off the charts" since the laptop was unveiled in March. "We could not be happier with how things are going at the moment," he said.
If your script starts with #!/bin/bash, both bash and zsh will run it fine. The bigger problem is the programs, filesystem and libraries being different. Which is why POSIX exists, if you’re looking to write stuff that works across systems.
I couldn’t tell if you were honestly asking for explanations or if all of your complaints sum up to “it’s different and I don’t like that”. Which honestly, fair.
not exactly. if you’re worried about the differences between bash 3 and 5, you’re probably using some intermediate bash-exclusive features because that’s the headlining changes between these versions (google says associative arrays and new shellvars. even if zsh has equivalent features, the syntax would be different.) it’s only “guaranteed” to run fine in both shells if the shebang ends in /sh to call the POSIX shell without any bash- or zsh- specific features.
but it isn’t available anywhere else so I can’t use it for scripts that get distributed.

Production server does not have zsh. Other developers aren’t on macbooks. Ergo, I cannot use zsh (it sucks anyway)
