Good :) Shell scripts will be around for a lot longer than any of those tools.

Shell is also significantly easier and faster, if you just want to say run jslint, then minify, etc.

I program in lots of languages, so shell is the first tool I reach for. Learning the language is enough; I don't have time for all these quirky build and deploy tools.

The embarrassing part is I automate everything with the shell and still never thought of it :).
