Because things change. For example I take a lot more pictures today
then when I wrote the script. So decisions I made then do not make
sense anymore. Beside that it is mostly a batch program and the
possibility to have a GUI is an improvement.

Also I think that as simple it is, it could be useful to others also.
And not everyone can run Bash scripts, but most people can run Java
applications.
