Thank you for explaining this with some clarity; it's early here, and I've been struggling to say this very thing.
Bash is fine, but it's not a sophisticated high-level language. For doing sophisticated things, a simplistic tool is not enough. We need processes that are deterministic and that can act intelligently. The "bash is fine" crowd, in my experience, tends to be the same crowd that thinks that servers are special snowflakes that we must feed and care for. Those days are over.
