I do all kinds of stuff like this. One of my favorite scripts takes the BBEdit selection, uses the "locate" shell command to find the header file with that name and open it. Amazingly fast, slick and useful.
I have another that uses the "mdfind" shell command to get a list of files which have the selected word in them and search them in BBEdit. Also amazingly fast for finding all uses of a variable or subroutine.
Other scripts do things like open specific related files based on the front file in BBEdit.
I've done source control in Finder scripts (with Perforce and CVS). I use DragThing to make pop up palettes in my various apps to run scripts. All of this stuff is extremely custom though, and doesn't translate well to someone else's setup because of all sorts of little details.
Basically, if I find myself doing something over and over, I automate it. I've posted a number of these in the past. None of them are overly complex, as the idea is often the most important part.
