I think batch files have very special purpose uses:

1. You can include code into multiple function/procedure using batch
files, e.g., error handling code that would normally be copy-and-pasted
into many routines.

2. To make a build script callable from the main-level since you can
put executive statements from batch files that are called from the
main-level.

Any other uses for batch files? I go with main-level programs for a lot
of simple/throw-away script stuff (since I can make it into a
function/procedure fairly easily if I don't actually throw it away).
