The stigma is well deserved and I will enthusiastically spread it.

Bash should be considered an esoteric programming language. Shell Programming Considered Harmful.

It's hard to program, and easy to make mistakes in. It should be left as a tool of last resort.

(that said, I understand the appeal of doing weird things with it, like the Minecraft server, for the same reason other esoteric programming languages have appeal)
