I have been writing shell scripts for years[1], and I have *never* had
an encounter with ':'. vim's sh syntax doesn't seem to be prepared for
it, and zsh's sh emulation has problems only when ':' is involved, so
I still think ':' is quite obscure.
Plus, I haven't seen ${foo:=bar} that often.
In any case, there's no need for ad hominem arguments; there is a
problem when using zsh, that's a fact.
