At the risk of getting my head caved in...
I agree *in principal* it's absurd for Apple not to be making their own
apps scriptable.
Yet... hasn't there been something of a 'tradition', habit or tendency
through the years for Apple to deliberately offer selected apps in
'minimalist' form (perhaps directed toward 'consumers' rather than
professionals) so as not to step on third party developers?
I mean... SimpleText or TextEdit could easily have been as capable as
BBEdit I doubt it's a lack of talent at Apple that limited either one.
Would Smile or Script Debugger exist if ScriptEditor did it all?
Would Adobe or Quark continue developing for the Mac platform if Pages
could really compete at the same level?
I'll go quietly now.
Peter B.
