Sorry I hate to write snarky comments. The page says other tools have too many dependencies where this doesn't. That makes it a potentially valuable tool. If it works that's great.
There are so many pitfalls, so many weird interactions with pipes and error conditions in subprocesses, signals(!), etc. etc. that it can be hard to write even "bail as soon as ANYTHING goes wrong" logic.
(And that's not even accounting for things like "rm -rf $FOO/" going wrong. The shell fully embraced Stringly Typed Programming and this is the inevitable result.)
I have recently learned of linters and such for bash/sh scripts, but that's a bandaid at best.
