Applescript is a really interesting attempt to make something easy to write for people used to english (not sure about easy to read). I've written a fair amount too but dislike it intensely as well - I'm not sure it's easy to read or to write, because the grammar is not well defined and the space of possible keywords and uses is expanded all the time by application developers who define which terms you can use. A very interesting experiment though.
