I've used shelljs [0] a couple times now and it works great.
The big benefit is that you get cross platform support and anyone can contribute!
Overall, it just plays well with JS applications. If I have a bunch of domain-specific utils used in my application and I want to use em as I move some files around, using something like shelljs makes it very to mix and match.
I'm interested in giving cash a try, though. It's not immediately clear how it differentiates itself.
EDIT: I just scrolled to the bottom of the README and it has a section on the difference with shelljs. It appears that they have different goals.
