I've given up trying to be as pure and standard as possible. I could write all my scripts to use `sh`, but `bash` can make things far easier, and in my docker containers is often required by some other package anyway, so may as well just own it.

I agree, bash vs sh is night and day. Although these days I mostly use python. If I really really need something I can always shell out in python as well.
