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.

What are the tools that improve your workflow by a lot?

Most feature rich file manager?
I make a lot of use of yad (which I think is in the standard repository) to give a GUI-like feel to my scripts. yad is a significant advance over zenity.

Showing GUIs from Shell Scripts
I like yad[0] for this. For example, I use it to present a GUI color picker to change/insert colors in Vim (via a plugin called vCoolor[1]). I also use it in some i3/sway scripts that need user input or to show a progress bar.

I have made weafetch, see the weather in terminal, neofetch style! 🌧️🌡️
The difference with weafetch is that it has its own config file which can just be configured and not touched anymore. When using wttr.in with curl, any custom changes you want to get from the output will need to be typed in everytime.
