As a lawyer that specializes in big time environmental cases (on the direct opposite side that Mr. Cheesman was on), I would counter and say that I use applescript and automator quite frequently and it pays dividends - saving both time and money. I think the distinction exists when you are representing people versus representing huge polluters, in which case they will pay for outside vendors to do things like mass file conversions and other painstaking tasks that can be easily automated if money is a constraint.
So I am certainly one voice of a professional that uses both applescript and automator to run my business and be successful.
I, too, used AppleScript heavily (with Excel) in the many Superfund cases in which I represented responsible parties (a/k/a polluters) who had to negotiate the division among themselves of responsibility for the hundreds of millions of dollars in cleanup costs that they paid to the federal and state governments. But it was plain to me that the legal profession generally did not use AppleScript, or Macs, at levels that would impress a high-level Apple executive. I spent many years on my large firm's computer committee, and I was the only member of the firm who brought a Mac to work every day.
What we should be looking for are professions or industries where AppleScript is so universally used that it merits continued, even increased, support for AppleScript and Automator. |
