I for one always ignore Script menus in applications. If I'm thinking
about "running a script", I want to go directly to the familiar "Script
Menu" menu and not have to bother about there being another "Scripts"
menu in the application itself. It's also convenient to have all one's
useful scripts in the Library/Scripts/ hierarchy and not in various
locations chosen by application developers.
