I suppose I only use Bash infrequently, but when I do it is normally in an effort to make scripts that I know will run on my various machines for data processing and the like. I am hesitant to use a framework like this (as exciting as it seems) because I fear it would mean managing more dependencies across my different development machines. What are people using Bash for that would require enough complexity that a framework like this becomes a godsend? Edit: typos.

Building things. It comes with logging and unit testing. What's not to like. There are a lot of people who does not know any other languages, believe it or not.

  > There are a lot of people who does not know any other languages, believe it or not. This is the only reason I can see to use this over perl (which it seems to be heavily influenced by) or python. Then again, learning how to use these higher level language features would probably require equivalent effort to just learning a beefier scripting lang such as those. Also: As far as hack value, what a great project. I don't mean to bikeshed.
