I don't use bash for ideological reasons. I use it to get things done and I much rather prefer this script than having to use curly braces and echo.

Out of curiosity, what are you reasons for not using bash?

I think they mean that they do use bash, but the reason that they use it is not ideological. Tricky sentence to work out.

Oh, you're right. Honestly had I truly read the whole sentence I probably would have figured that out.

As I understood their comment, they do use bash but not for any ideological reason but rather to get things done.
