It goes back to Jon's point about simplicity, and how anything that runs counter to that just won't see wider acceptance.
I’d argue it’s more to do with distribution and availability. I’ve been around long enough to have seen that (just…), but I don’t remember it, and searching these lists is not the easiest (** see below).
I totally agree with Jean-Christophe that the missing link in any 3rd party attempts is a “public applescript library” website that’s i. highly visible and ii. obviously credible.The OSXAutomation site fulfils both those criteria, but there’s no reason why participants of this list couldn’t start something new.
**I wrote a script sometime ago to make it easier to search both the lists and MacScripter and have it set as a service with a keyboard shortcut:
set theChoices to display dialog "Search for what?" default answer "" with title "AppleScript Search" buttons {"Cancel", "ASUsersList", "MacScripter"} default button "MacScripter"
set searchTerm to the text returned of the theChoices set theSite to button returned of theChoices tell application "Safari"
activate
if theSite = "ASUsersList" then else end if end tell
Best
