My position is I will never willingly write another Bash script. Zx is always a better choice.

I get that there are contexts where portability etc are important, but my work is very far from such places.

I truly despise Bash and its brethren.

big +1. I see the appeal of writing things directly in the shell, but as soon as you have conditional logic it's time for Python/JS/anything else.

In most of my cases, the scripts live within NodeJS projects, and have no particular attachment to Bash or Linux, so there's not really even any good reason to have Both involved at all.
