The simplest, most direct answer is that I don't know a word or line of
either.
B-b-b-but... they allow you to create UIs using AppleScript!
FaceSpan is a billion times easier than AS Studio (but it's not free).
(Based on PB; I don't have Panther so don't know how Xcode compares.)
The more oblique answer is that HTML, Javascript and AppleScript may be
more accessible to a 'typical' user... but this may not be the case.
As I say, FS and AS_S use AppleScript.
Beyond that, I always thought it would be cool to go to a home page (or a
bookmarked page) and have all kinda local functionality.
I guess you have to like browsers. I think they suck, UI-wise.
Give me a real Mac interface with real Mac behaviors. :)
