Better?  Sure just about anything!  The shell is nice for simple tasks,
but once something goes wrong, you quickly begin to realize that it is a
hack of a "programming language".  Any task that I anticipate to be
anything more than trivial, makes me reach for a "real" language
(currently Ruby tops my list, but Python, Perl, or even emacs lisp have
got to be better than bash).  Seriously, though bash is the shiniest
rock amongst a pile of coal.
