I sometimes find shells useful in contexts where the silly thing really does need to run as a subprocess, and then I really do need to parse its stdout, rather than having a nice sensible library binding that I can just call into. Yes, I know Python has subprocess etc. and other languages have the same, but shell pipelines are just so much more expressive and concise for that sort of thing...

Plus shell scripts can be fixed / adapted by anyone.

You may be a bash wizard, but please don't speak for the rest of us :-)
