True. But the issue is not different in kind from the learning curve for
standard AppleScript. Countless beginners have written scripts that select
an item, then copy it (to the clipboard), then select the destination, then
paste it.
Yes. And in the days of OneClick, which had a remarkably simple
scripting language and a speed to leave Applescript sweating at the
starting blocks, 95% of users, I guess, used only the GUI side of it
and never tried EasyScript let alone using it with Apple Events.
Many people are glad just to learn a few GUI things and are pleased
to be able to speed up their work as a result. It's not for "proper
scripters" to diminish their achievement or their pleasure in it.
More of us began like that with QuicKeys (which pre-dated
Applescript) than may be prepared to admit it :-)
All I hope is that there's not going to much talk of clicking menus
and oiking windows and tossing buttons on the scripting lists.
