More precisely, they wrote it a long time ago. PreFab UI Browser can't do
much with it, either. Much of its user interface code is custom and simply
doesn't support the new Accessibility API on which GUI Scripting is based.

Since Apple owns it, one can hope that this situation will be remedied. It
doesn't take a lot of tweaking to make custom interface code
Accessibility-savvy.
