Why are they used to ksh? :)
Because at some point in time, it seemed to be the only usable tool?
Quoting the sig of roboticus: When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
I vaguely remember one of my profs claiming that ksh was the only portable shell, because it was standardised. Well, we continued to write bash and perl scripts.

AIX background. KSH is the de-facto shell. You have to install ksh93 or bash to get something more modern (to use arrays and such).
