Я пишу скрипты на bash. Это скорее ближе к хобби, хотя иногда нужно и по работе. Конечно, не каждый день, но довольно часто и уже довольно давно. Бывают ситуации, когда либо не хочется пользоваться другими script-языками или когда у заказчика нет специалиста который сможет поддержать ваши скрипты в будущем, если они написаны, например, на perl - в общем, у меня бывало много случаев, когда моими скриптами должен был пользоваться не только я, но и еще кто-то и написаны они должны были быть на bash, а не на чем-то ином.
