Whoa hoss. First, needs focus: you've loads of different issues there.
ASOC issues are completely separate to library issues so should be dealt
with separately, etc. Second, no point talking about the state of older
OS versions as those aren't going to change now. Third, the AS team has
limited resources and even more limited support from above, so there's
absolutely no point asking for grand sweeping rewrites of the
AppleScript stack, Xcode, etc. because that ain't gonna happen.
Instead, think about how to get the most out of what we do have: a
library loader which is not technically great but does have the big
advantage of being included in AS as standard, and twenty pent-up years
of user frustration at not being able to do simple things like finding
and replacing text and sorting lists straight out of the box. Never
underestimate the value of plucking low-hanging fruit just because it
isn't exciting and attention-grabbing (a common developer error).
Getting half-dozen nice standard AS libraries into 10.11 would provide
significant benefit to all AS users at little cost to the AS team
themselves.
