I think that's a bit too strong. Some scripting situations are a perfect fit for the shell with the exception of one or two little features missing in the POSIX shell but present in bash. My top examples would be the pipefail option and process substitution ie. <(foo) and >(foo). It's worthwhile to have a build of bash with all the interactive features disabled (job control, history, completion etc etc). I think at one point (maybe before dash?) there was even a debian package providing such a build.
