This thread is interesting for the reason that no one has yet mentioned the fact that you do not need to create an action to include an Applescript in a workflow. Everyone seems to be under the impression that you do.
In the "Automator Library" section take note of the "Run AppleScript" and "Run Shell Script" actions which let you paste in your own code. You can use multiple instances of these to create your workflow and never have to open AppleScript Studio.
Given the above, it's still necessary to use AppleScript Studio to author a really new action with a unique interface if that's what's needed.
My complaint about Automator is its linear nature not that I have to use AppleScript Studio.
