Biggest barrier: it only runs under MacOS when most computer users use
Windows/Unix. Almost too obvious.
Barriers against wider adoption within the Mac world: 1. not enough
Mac-based geeks in the world, and 2. most regular folks...
*don't need automation anyway
*don't realise the benefits of it
*aren't aware of the facilities that exist for doing it
*don't have a mind for the concepts and skills needed to design and
assemble automated systems
*may not find that time/effort saved by automating a process adequately
offsets the work needed to set it up in the first place (especially if
starting from scratch)
*don't have the luxury of time and resources needed to develop the skills
in the first place
*would rather have a short-term result today than a long-term solution next
week.
Along with what everybody else has said about learning curves,
documentation, etc, etc. But I think human factors are important too.
