Until the other shells reach the point of being part of the "core" software-bundles in the distributions I use, I don't see making a change to other shells (sorta like POSIX-shell when I was still working with commercial UNIX systems).
Totally, but for me it's a secondary tool. If you choose zsh (or whatever), you're really choosing to learn that AND bash, because inevitably you'll run into it or at least need to know how it works as you interact with software on the internet.
Bash, for no other reason than it's ubiquitous.

Same, but I understand why people care a lot about this.
