Just imagine writing bash incorporating a sed script for something you can do with 20 keystrokes, then migrating the sed part to awk until it reaches 20 lines, then rewrite the whole thing to Python or somehow bridge it to the shell script - when you could have done the whole thing in Perl without feeling that it holds you back...
