Perhaps I'm missing something in this long thread, but I think we (you)
should change definitively this list name to "applescript-developers".
Development is development, and AppleScript is a programming language, true?
So, this is a list intended for developers (not for plain "users", but for
people trying to solve their own scripting issues). Also, if there are
"users", it must be "developers" to ship something to "use", true? (even if
we are our own users, I guess PhotoShop was already an application before
being sold in the market)
So, I think:
1. This should be named "applescript-developers-list".
2. If you write scripts, you are a "developer". You write code (and you do
more things in the life, of course).
3. If you simply run scripts, you are a "user". If you have some problem
running a script, you contact its developer.
4. If you modify an existing script, you are a "code hacker". There is a
chance to become a "developer".
Appart from this, there are some more concerns about applescript being a
"programming language", and applescripters "programmers" or "developers"
(<http://macscripter.net/faq/get_the_faq.php?id=206_0_10_0_C>). Discussions
about speed, scripting vs. imperative, lack of functions, etc. are the real
pointless questions to discern the nature of AppleScript.
