I think the OP video's demonstrated use-case makes xiki preferable to creating a shell script.
With a shell script if I want to run some copy-pasta from a blog post or somesuch then I need to edit to remove non-script parts, then I'm flitting between shells to make edits that will work. Then I use the script, and remove it. All just to run a few commands; copy paste, edit in place and ctrl+enter to execute seems far slicker to me (but haven't used it yet).
Xiki looks great for navigation too.
Currently I use bash/dash (Kubuntu) and the greatest change to me has been discovering ctrl+R (surprisingly recently!) and a couple of scripts that I made/modified following a post on HN that make an archive of input commands and enable me to grep it easily.
