I use another class in OSAKit, instead of NSAppleScript, to run scripts in
my applications, because OSAKit (which has an API that overlaps
NSAppleScript) was fixed quite some time ago to properly save persistent
properties in scripts. NSAppleScript has never done that properly. An Apple
engineer advised me over a year ago that OSAKit is perfectly usable. I
understand that at least some parts of it are used by Automator, and maybe
even by Script Editor.
I've been after Apple to document this for a year or two, without visible
results.
