Indeed, edge cases keep hitting you, until you know them and howto work-around them. Is that a shell specific issue? that is a universal issue I think.
A big problem, is that people that underestimate an unknown technology, does not take the time to learn properly that technology.
Many programmers think they "know" shell (and many beginners), so they don't invert more time and tests, and then they keep facing corner cases, facing known and documented and solved issues, etc...
You are asserting, than learning bash is harder than learning the corner cases of other more advanced languages. Is that what you say? do you think that "bash" has more corner cases than ... (?)
