Learn AppleScript. No question. JavaScript for Automation is half-baked,
half-broken, and not a competent alternative - never mind replacement -
to it.
AS may be creaky, confusing, and painful, but it's the only [supported]
option that does application scripting right. There are several good
books available*, and the veteran ASers here and at MacScripter.net will
be happy to help out should you get stuck.
