I see n8n everywhere and while I love automation I can't think of a use case, that couldn't be realized in Bash instead.

So I'm wondering, if you use n8n what are you using it for?

Only limitations seem to be my will to learn new stuff. I'm sure all this could be written in Python or something but I'm not a programmer.

I've been a programmer for 20 years. 100% of my personal projects are vibe coded now. Just throw AI at the code.
