> YAGNI

For most people, YAGNI means using convenient Bash-isms, because their scripts won't ever be run on environments that don't have Bash.

Edit: Admittedly, someone in this thread pointed out the flaw in my argument, there are plenty of cases where you can't assume you have Bash. I still hold that proofing something for all possible environments is itself a YAGNI.
