One case for script/ that I can think of, and something almost all of us
would end up using almost daily :

http://drupal.org/node/59863

Essentially it's a command line wrapper for Drupal.

This can be useful for a great many things, but imo primarily for automating
the install system.

for installing a new site of a specific distribution :
scripts/drupal.sh --cmd install.php --site mydomain2.com --db
mysql://username:pass@localhost/dbname install profilename

for updating a specific site (useful in a script which recurrs through
sites/ whenever you alter the source) :
scripts/drupal.sh --cmd update.php ---site mydomain.com update
