Bill,
There is, at the end of the day, a need to get the work done. PreFab
makes that easier to do. I see the scripting environment expanding-
more than I had thought possible when X was released. Applescript seems
more mainstream and, maybe it is me, but it also feels like more new
people are beginning to explore it.
Anything that can be done to facilitate the entry of new folks in the
fold is to everyone's good. A tool that make working with apps that are
not scriptable adds value and usefulness to Apple's products.
Know I'm preaching to the choir.

Similarly, we at PreFab Software are long-time, dedicated
AppleScripters. We
always counsel users of PreFab UI Browser who write in to our support
address for help with GUI Scripting to look at the target application's
terminology dictionary as a first resort.
Nevertheless, for applications that don't have a dictionary, or whose
dictionary isn't up to a particular task, GUI Scripting is essential.
