Seattle-based software/music/editing/otherstuff person. Not much for social media, bad at social networking, somehow even worse at building a personal brand or chasing "engagement." Views expressed are my own. Formerly kind of somebody in the Apple universe. Once lost on Jeopardy. No, I have never held public office.

The version of bash that ships with macOS is pretty old: Apple has stopped updating it due to licensing issues.
Both zsh and bash are pretty powerful and have lots of tricks; bash is arguably more universal if you're moving shell scripts around between systems.
If you're going with shells that ship with macOS, zsh is the better choice. However, you could always roll your own bash—and it would be up to date!
