Interesting question.

Myself being a GUI-dependent user, I have a handful of 
scripts mostly for repetitive batch conversions.
Using those scripts is way faster than running all the 
GUI-processes (yet I have some reasonably fast machines).
An example would be to resize a bunch of images for web use, 
when design policy has lead to fixed sizes of images.

A couple of those scripts don't have equivalents in Digikam 
or other handy software; for example rotating AVI/MPEG 
movies taken on compact cameras or phones.

I'd guess some people prefer scripts for more precise 
control over the actions taken, but there may be other 
reasons too.
