Preferred Terminal Scripting Language

Question

What language do you prefer to write scripts for common tasks (backup, synchronization, etc.) and why? I'm not talking about programming web pages or applications.

I came up with this question, thinking about why bash is still popular. For example, Python looks more comfortable to me. Do you use it only because you know it or for some special reason?
