I did some batch scripting as a teenager. There's some expressive power, but
it's very low and it takes a lot of effort (or lines of code) to achieve
simple things that Linux achieves very easily, elegantly, and quickly. There's
surely a lot of catching up to do. Some GNU utilities have evolved and matured
for over 2 decades (!!).
