Teaching shell is not about writing a .sh script though. It's about getting used to the terminal. I think this is one of the biggest shortcoming of people who are just learning to code/bootcamps. If one stays in an IDE at all times they won't learn the system. I consider appropriate knowledge of shell as the ability to replace the native system UI usage with terminal. And that's not a high bar.
