While bash itself has some warts, many of the issues are inherent to spawning child processes for accomplishing tasks. Thus, when possible, I try to use proper libraries rather than invoking commands from any language at all.

Python and as for libraries, well that's very dependent on what I want to accomplish, obviously.
