It appears I'm not the only one who is confused by the message Apple puts out to end users about AE and AS. On the one hand they really do want users to think that these tools are accessible to the masses. But on the other hand everybody's interests are best served if end users stay the heck away from these technologies. Though Automator is clearly being pitched to the end user today, the question about it that I have is whether Apple will be able to clean it up and give it sufficient legs that becomes the end user entry point for AE and AS. Or will it also demoted to the same ambiguous no man's land that AS has settled into?
Bear in mind that AppleScript is regarded as a developer tool, not a user tool
Chris,
Wow. That is a very significant statement.
Historically, AS seems to have been marketed to the User and now I wonder...
Is this current view an intentional marketing shift? Does "is regarded" imply the view of Apple management or is this an engineering view of the utility of AppleScript?
It's a very interesting -- and impacting -- statement.
I suppose, also, there is a distinction between those "writing" AppleScript and those "using" an AppleScript script...
