This is *always* going to get emotional precisely because it is a
miniature version of the platform wars.  Intentionally or not,
consciously or not, to *some* people, when they're told to use a
different scripting language inside an AppleScript script, they hear
"You picked the wrong language for your project, you ninny, and now
you're paying for it."


Actually I believe it's called "cognitive dissonance" and has more to do with human nature then it does platform wars which are a just one form of it. :)
