I like bash because it's easy to connect different data together. I can output a column from a sql query to a file and easily write a for loop that goes over the data and use it.

I work mostly in payment related code, so most often I use bash to hot fix in production. Like if we need to refund certain people, I'll convert the refund api call to a curl call, get the data from sql and then just run a simple loop.
