As someone who spends half of my workday in a shell, but doesn't often _code_ in shell, I find "it's not POSIX" to be the advantage.

Loop constructs and defining temporary functions in particular seem much more natural to my brain.

I used it as my main shell for about two years (on OSX even), but had to give it up due to a broken command-not-found handler (long story, but increased my quality of life with non-global bundler so much I went back to zsh).
