My primary use case for Amber is when I need to write a Bash script but don't remember the silly syntax. My most recent Bash mistake was misusing test -n and test -z. In Amber, I can just use something == "" or len(something) == 0

I didnt realize it could go to different bash versions.

That could actually be really handy for me, write once and out for the versions I need...

    When do you need a newer or older version of Bash to target? I mean usually this is not a thing to concern about.

    Client systems outside of my control.

    It is not usually a thing to be concerned about. It is something I end up having to be concerned about though.
