tbh if you limit yourself to just what's in posix sh scripts they aren't that bad… apart from some more complicated regexes. Maybe perl would be better for that.
but basic flow control in shell isn't bad. Unfortunately a lot of people aren't very principled and start throwing tons of bash extensions into their shell scripts which makes it a lot harder.
similarly i write javascript to be able to run on basically anything, if i write it at all. much like [my website](https://megatokyo.moe/ ), although that has no JS. Works in IE5 though :)
