I protest that characterization. I have never, ever found a task
impossible to script in Windows. Unix denizens may grow up learning to
script, but it is far from impossible in Windows.

In fact, VBScript and JSCript ship with every copy of Windows since
Windows 95, and have capabilities in excess, I would say, of bash.
(Not counting all the commandline utilities in /bin and /usr/bin that
bash can call; but the variables, expressions, looping constructs,
file access, etc. are equal if not superior.)
