Honestly I don't use anything for AppleScript but a standard, plain
install of AppleScript and what comes with the operating system. This
is not because I think that the 3rd-party scripting additions are no
good, on the contrary some are excellent, it's for portability reasons.
I don't want to work on an AppleScript and then move it somewhere else
or give it out only to forget that I also need x, y, and z scripting
additions. Plus the very nature of scripting additions is that you
start to think of them as being a part of the base AppleScript. It
becomes tougher to advise someone on AppleScripting since you now have
additional commands that they don't have and you might not remember
that they were additions.
When it comes down to it I haven't met many situations where I did need
a scripting addition in order to do a scripting task. Between
AppleScript, the Apple-supplied scripting additions, applications, and
the shell environment I am able to cover just about any scripting need
that I have.
