Pipelines are performant; many algorithms can be expressed as pipelines. Bash has many built-in string manipulation mechanisms which do not require a sub shell.

Why do people who subscribe to the “avoid shell scripts at all costs” ideology feel so passionately about prescribing to others?

I like python, but if I am in a rush it’s shell.
