bash only needs better history manipulation. absolutely nothing else.
all those z shell features the only useful one (i.e. the only one that's impossible on bash) is the recursion (i typed star star, but hn hides it) hack.
and it's awful. because now you just learned something that you can't use anywhere else! and to search that same way in a shell script? though luck.
also it has less parameter then find. and find is available everywhere so you can use it in scripts.
