Other people’s scripts never work right, due to invalid assumptions, differing desires and questionable code. Plus they’re never trying to solve *my* version of the problem.  I can’t help but suspect that other people have similar issues.

Same here. And I think that's what scripting is about in the end. It should be simple enough to get a lot done because the use cases are infinite.

And I definitely feel the learning curve to satisfy my automation needs with such languages is way too steep, because I'd have to reinvent a lot of wheels that AS already provides.
