I can't really imagine how you'd do video editing with scripts, unless you are emulating a linear editing workflow. But then I can't imagine how it would be time-efficient.
Well, I am not doing heavy weight editing or making movies. Most of the time I need to remove audio, resize and re-compress for web, cut the first and last seconds, or splice together 2 videos. Generate thumbs. etc.
I have also fully replaced image editors with imagemagick on the cli and some bash scripts.
