Many times I've seen people saying ZSH is cool. I think I should try to grok it and use it to increase productivity. Won't I face any special problems if I set ZSH as my main shell? For example some programs/scripts may expect bash and behave an unexpected way this case, mayn't they?

Zsh is fully bash compatible, and if there is a "#!/bin/bash" it would call bash intepreter (i think).
The only problems i had when i switched to zsh were some keybindings. And if you want Zsh to be really cool, you'd have to waste some time for it or (what i advise you) use the grml zsh settings. This solves most of your problems and gives you a very good zsh configuration

By chance there is this discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=101767 .
I use fish which is completely 100% not bash compatible. I still keep bash as login shell and have terminals and screen set to use fish.

I've installed Grml Zsh package but it still asks me to configure when I start it. How do I import Grml Zsh settings then?

Why? Maybe so should I?

Switching from bash to fish is like taking one step forward and one step back. Before switching, research it thorougly. I only gave it as an example of how to use another shell without making it your default shell.

It asks for a personal configuration in ~. Just take the option to create an empty configuration. It will still use theglobal grml config in /etc/zsh/zshrc
