Every time I learn a new Bash trick or quirk, it just pushes me further towards Powershell and Python for system administration.

Bash scripts are so hacky. With any other language, my though process is "what's the syntax again? Oh right.." but with bash it's "how can I do this and avoid shooting myself in the foot?" when doing anything moderately complex like a for loop.
