> Q.) Why did you make the switch? What’s wrong with bash? A.) You can do a lot of advanced things with bash, and customize it to do even more, but ZSH allows you to do even more. This was one really large selling point.

AFAICT this is the entire motivation provided. Since they start with stating that it's a very large change, It would be useful to flesh out the motivation a bit. For instance, some concrete examples of those "even more" things that you can do with zsh but not with bash would go a long way.
