It's always available, across time and distros. Despite it being a bit aged, it works well, and even though process management is a pain, it does many things right. There just hasn't been a strong need for a new terminal scripting language when you can easily write a few lines in Python instead when you need to do more advanced things. After a while you will appreciate that the script you wrote 10 years ago still works everywhere, and that new shiny thing that was supposed to replace it died and withered away instead.
