I believe Brian's app did start as a plain AS app originally, so he just moved a lot of code wholesale -- hence the lack of any ASObjC code in that section.

Actually it precedes Runner. It's an editor: you use it to test code, write standalone ASObjC-based apps, or as an external editor for Xcode. It does things like code-completion, which makes dealing with Cocoa terminology much less infuriating, and logging. I can't imagine writing ASObjC code without it -- imagine writing scripts with only ASE, but without any logging -- but then (a) I'm biased, and (b) I didn't have to pay money for it. (Disclaimer for those who don't know: I wrote the thing.)
Runner was originally written as a way of getting access to ASObjC from non-app scripts -- ie, scripts run from app menus and panels. They can just pass the stuff that requires ASObjC off to Runner to run in the background. When I decided to make a scriptable utility FBA, I figured I might as well modify Runner rather than make yet another app. In retrospect, given the names, it was probably a less than stellar choice.

Cool. I could do with someone nagging me ;-)
