Another problem is that bash-scripts are a superset of sh-scripts and 
since bash is the standard sh on most linuxes many scripts written on 
linux does not work on other systems which used just sh. It's not really 
bash's fault but it can create some problems (like pacman using bash- 
scripts instead of sh-scripts).
