I would be. Being the congenital cynic I am, I've got a dim view of what automator can do for anyone who actually needs it. For coders and scripters who don't need it, it may be of some curiousity, but my first reaction to it is that it will be lame for anyone who can't already engage in the mental process that you do when you write code. I'm open to being proved wrong, but I think there are limits to what you can do to simplify things that require a logical thought process to implement. I guess we'll all find out.

Bill, you are 100% right!
If one can't write code, Automator will be almost worthless!
However, it might bring people who did not know they could do *it* to actually do *it*. Something a la Hypercard.
The positive side of this is that, eventually there will be more people claiming for scriptability in Apple's applications...


By the way, Automator is slightly better than a recorded script. But very cool indeed.
