Sometimes, the hassle of allowing developers to work on it from Windows is worth the grunts.

Also, plugins. Arguably, shell scripts are also a plugin ecosystem. Perhaps a less convenient one, it's hard to say from my perspective. It's definitely hard to find versionned coffeescript bash files.

That said, wouldn't it be wonderful if Windows had bash built-in?




Every Windows developer who has git also has bash installed. Because of that, most simple .sh build scripts tend to work fine on Windows these days.
