After installing the 10.8.5 combo update, I was, of course, curious if AppleScript's broken 'launch' command had been fixed. I ran my test script and received the usual error message. It's still broken!

The latest AppleScript Language Guide, dated 2008-03-11, describes 'launch' as …

launch
Launches an application, if it is not already running, but does not send it a run command.

The problem is that 'launch' does erroneously send the 'run' command.

Has AppleScript become so obsolete that it's not worth fixing?

Certainly not.
Fixing such oddity is just far from the top of priority list.
