Since we make Smile, why would Apple do that? Let them maintain AppleScript it's enough work.

I haven't tried it yet. I wanted to, but I already can say that it will have a hard stand.
1) It comes as a .pkg -> I usually ignore such things

That's your problem.

2) It wants me to reboot -> WHY? I thought it's an Editor/IDE thing. Why shall I reboot? Is this WinDOS?

Since I don't reboot until the next 10.4 update comes, I think, smile will have to wait.

That's an issue, you're right.

The point is that in some rare circumstances it's good to restart the machine after installing Smile. The reason is that Smile's installer installs / replaces some Scripting additions, and if some background process has already loaded a S.A. which was replaced it may crash.

In most cases you don't really need to restart. For instance, we at Satimage-software never do. Just quit the installer. Installer maker does not allow for providing an optional restart.
