OC 2 is very stable. It was the beta versions of 2 that were horribly
unstable. It is incredibly more powerful than launching AppleScripts:
1) It has its own easy-to-learn scripting language which can control the
menus and controls (buttons, etc) of totally unapplescriptable apps as will
as AS ones. I.e. you can do everything that any app can in the UI do by OC's
scripting, plus lots more, just in its own scripting. It goes very deep into
the inner processing, and is super-fast.
2) You can embed AppleScript inside its own OC scripts, and exchange
variables with them.
3) AppleScript can also call OneClick scripts by virtue of the osax that is
installed with it.
It's incredibly powerful and versatile. Unfortunately, it won't be making it
to OS X.
