I've had mixed results with scrapy, probably more based in my inexperience than other thing, but for example retrieving a posting in idealista.com with vanilla scrapy begets an error page whereas a basic wget command retrieves the correct page. So the learning curve for simple things makes me jump to bash scripts; scrapy might prove more valuable when your project starts to scale. But also of course: normally the best tool is the one you already know!
