GUI Scripting is to be avoided whenever there is a better alternative. There is a long tradition in the AppleScript community of focusing on the data.

Yes, manipulate the data, (or the model in MVC parlance) not the UI. There are lots of reasons this makes sense, and I fully agree with it.

But there is a problem. To users, the UI **IS** the model. It is difficult to get non-programmers to think in the abstract terms necessary for a "manipulate the data, not the UI" approach.

No solutions proposed, just pointing out a way of thinking about this issue that I hadn't seen mentioned thus far.
