Techniques I Use to Create a Great User Experience for Shell Scripts
I can highly recommend using bash3boilerplate (https://github.com/kvz/bash3boilerplate) if you're writing BASH scripts and don't care about them running on systems that don't use BASH.
It provides logging facilities with colour usage for the terminal (not for redirecting out to a file) and also decent command line parsing. It uses a great idea to specify the calling parameters in the help/usage information, so it's quick and easy to use and ensures that you have meaningful information about what parameters the script accepts.
Also, please don't write shell scripts without running them through ShellCheck. The shell has so many footguns that can be avoided by correctly following its recommendations.

Being a bash developer in the 21st century
I'm a fan of Bash3 Boilerplate (https://github.com/kvz/bash3boilerplate) and use a modified version of it for my shell scripts now. I like the code style and the logging, although I've amended the logging slightly to add a pipe input for long running processes that you want to see the output from before it finishes.
I prefer having a stop-on-unexpected script as it makes errors far more explicit and it's not too onerous to work round the peculiarities of return codes.
Greg's wiki (https://mywiki.wooledge.org/) is my go to resource for looking up snippets and learning to avoid the footguns - that and shellcheck are the key to "robust" bash scripts.
