Hmmm, I find it to be *most* stable. Be sure you are running 2.0.5.

All true except for the object explorer part. Scripter 2.5 does have
this feature.
The other issues with Scripter are miniscule compared to the apparent
lack of ongoing support or plans to release any new versions with any added
functionality/fixes much less an OS X native version.
But I use and like Scripter. It's simple as pie compared to smile or SD.
Argue if you want. It is a pocketknife compared to these
swiss-army-multi-tools. Usually I want to write code. Period.
And there's one very undervalued and potentially script-world shattering
piece of the Scripter family that no one talks about here. ScriptBase.
Anyone else use this? I can't do it justice in this space. It is phenomenal.
Go get the trial version of Scripter and check it out. Now. Go already.
