Facespan versus Smile

I once heard a rumor of this feature (probably on this list), and tried Smile
(1.5 I think it was) but found that it seemed you could present customized
dialogs from Smile, but not much else... FaceSpan & RealBasic allow you to
create "stand-alone" applications, with GUIs as complex and diverse as
"real" applications... If Smile can indeed do this, then it's not documented
properly, and when corrected should make Smile the hands-down first choice
script editor!!

I would have never paid for Script Debugger & FaceSpan if I could have
figured out how to make Smile do all they can...

I'm now looking at getting ScriptBase or Valentina, does Smile replace
them as well?
