The discussion of "vanilla Applescript" versus using an osax or
other source is usually pretty silly. Someone will post their
"vanilla" Applescript script and the first thing it contains will
be a call to StandardAdditions or to some application, that's no
longer vanilla.
For example, some folks post gobs of code munging "current date"
via "vanilla" Applescript when they could get the same thing with 1
line calling do shell script. They forget that calling Standard
additions for current date is not really any different than calling
it for do shell script.
The difference is that "do shell script" involves using a scripting
language other than Applescript. In order to use it, you have to
know at least one additional scripting language.
Using OSAXen does not require the knowledge of any other scripting
language.
To me "vanilla Applescript" means that my script, regardless of what
it calls, contains only Applescript terminology.
