Apple script, then, makes me sad, because is some of those things that, when you build, you have a lot of hope on that and put a lot o effort for it to be nice and beautiful, and imagine how people will love and how successful it will be. The team developing it probably had dreams and believed they were doing something innovative or meaningful. Then the harsh reality is that all the effort and hope in beauty and niceness were useless because the thing you were building wasn't really necessary or useful to the world. The fact that it was a team in a big company makes it less sad, if it was an solo guy or "small family team" then its really sad. I like Automator and think the natural language style of its script is a brave idea, but I found it too complicated to put to use when I tried it years ago, when I was a completely level-zero non-technical, And I would propably find it too basic now that i can do some Ruby and C#. Just as a note, I didnt get, in the end, if its JS or Python you want for Automator, or both, in this last case, please add Ruby too :D
