Not really. AppleScript is a programming language, ergo AppleScripters are programmers. The relatively recent distinction between 'developer' and 'user' is somewhat false anyway, since all developers are also users and there are plenty of users who develop (anything from the odd Excel macro upwards). Presumably Apple use the term 'user' as shorthand for the subset of users who interact with their computers completely manually via simple point-n-click, and even then the boundary is rather fuzzy; e.g. is someone who uses QuicKeys to record and replay mouse clicks still 'only a user', or have they just stepped onto the bottom rung of the 'developer' ladder too?
