There are aspects of the shell that are a matter of pure preference, like
syntax coloring.
There are aspects where personal preference or efficiency in the common case
may override someone else’s idea of good design, like perhaps the textual
programming language that can’t easily enough handle file names with newlines
(which aren’t forbidden).
But I feel quite confident in saying that having a debugger with breakpoints
and the ability to view variables, instead of (bash -x) and sprinkling around
echo statements, is a nowadays a basic expectation and an essential tool for
productivity, not a frivolous personal preference. (And if the response is
“use a non-shell language and a powerful editor if you that kind of
functionality”, then that just proves my point.)
