Precedence: bulk

-: Every remotely decent shell can do it. Which only serves to prove the
-: point that command.com isn't a decent shell. So, what else is new?

Are there *any* advantages (other than being able to run DOS batch
files), to loading bash on top of command.com?  IOW, is there any
good reason *not* to load bash as your primary shell? (Easier said
than done maybe, but's let's keep it hypothetical).
