The main problem with enterprise crap is portability. It only runs under very specific circumstances.

Bash and Perl scripts run, truly, everywhere - so you get real collaboration. I can share it with anyone on my team and they can use it.

Well written bash will run anywhere. Amateur bash will only run on the version of Mac OS it was written on, and even then only after the correct collection of random homebrew packages installed has been installed.

I agree, which is why I think most bash scripts should actually be Perl scripts. There, I said it.
