I'm curious about one thing. When did using "do shell script" become "shell scripting"? Near as I can tell the only thing the two have in common is the access of shell commands. Quite a few of the shell's commands are interactive which won't even work correctly via "do shell script"

I've not seen anyone offer more than two or three commands in a "do shell script" solution. After studying a book about 2 inches thick on shell scripting for the last few weeks, that is decidedly not what I'd call shell scripting.
