I'm not going to respond to the personal aspects of this thread,
however...
I think Martin's point is fairly clear. If a non-scriptable app is to
support Automater, then which would be easier:
1) Build out proper AppleScript support, and then build Automator
support on that...
or
2) Build Automator support directly, bypassing AppleScript.
The second scenario is what has me somewhat concerned, and I think is
what Martin is getting at. Why would number 1 be easier than number 2,
especially for developers who've resisted adding AppleScript support
already?
I'm not concerned about the difficultly of adding Automator support to
already-scriptable apps, such as the PowerPoint example.
