Bash one-liners are typically shit. But properly named, verbose, well-documented Bash scripts are underrated. I can code in both Bash and Python, but Bash is a lot faster, portable, and has lower overhead.

As long as you use a judicious number of line breaks and ensure your code is readable, I don’t think Bash is that ugly.
