I started programming I'm bash a few months ago, and also found it enjoyable. But the part I found enjoyable wasn't just programming in bash. The part I loved was making scripts to automate all kinds of stuff and make my life easier—automate updating my yum repo, automate building my Docker images, make some install scripts for whatever I need when I distrohop, and little scripts to backing up and restoring my dotfiles.

If another language/shell, like zsh or fish was the preinstalled default, I'd program in that instead, but because of its basically-universal install base, I program in bash.
