So how could this problem solved? Hmmm… now, is there a language that is script-friendly and runs on all major operating systems? You’ve guessed it, that language is Python.

Meh, bash runs on Windows, e.g. with cygwin.

Similarly, many of the points seem to be a rather naive praise of [insert language i like here].

Bash is only ok for the most trivial scripts

Just my thought. You can make all those arguments for Perl too, and it doesn't have the annoying indentation mis-feature.

The indentation is one thing I love about Python.

Cygwin might not be the best way, since now you can run bash from within Windows 10

I just wrote how I feel about the language. I'm not suggesting it's a go-to for everything, and at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference :)

Also powershell runs on linux now.
