The number of times I've used a for loop in shell is roughly equal to the number of times I've had to look up how to use a for loop in shell. Relatedly, I generally switch to Ruby when my scripts get complex enough to require control flow.

For some tasks I find myself writing my scripts in bash with a bunch of python herefiles. Bash is pretty straight forward when it comes to text stream processing and tool integration but for anything more the herefiles are a good way to avoid figuring out bash control flow and messing with list delimiters
