I like the idea of AppleScript, but every, single, time, I try to use it I walk away frustrated. I can never accomplish the goal I set out to do. Instead I end up wasting hours and hours fiddling around with this language. The syntax is just odd, since it has this conversational style ("tell app to do this") I constantly fall into the trap of trying to write out something that I think should work, but it does not. This happens all the time. The other day I wanted to automate something on my new M1 Mac. SURPRISE! The latest version of the app I was trying to use no longer supports Apple Script! Trying to automate stuff on Mac is so frustrating. Don't even get me started on Automator! I tried playing around with the new Shortcuts app, but that thing is also difficult.
