Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.
