This is simply confusing the relative importance of different products.
Sheets + Apps Script powers the business world. The amount of critical business logic that would simply stop working and the trust that would be lost, if Google decided to pull Apps Script from Google Workspace's 10 million businesses, is hard to fathom.
Gmail is going nowhere. Google Sheets, Docs and Calendar is going nowhere. Apps Script is going absolutely nowhere.
- chii 2y ago> the trust that would be lost you'd think so, but lots of this trust has already been lost when google started pulling highly used services like rss! And what if somehow, they find appscript to be too burdensome, when it does not derive much, if any, revenue?
- jstummbillig 2y ago> lots of this trust has already been lost when google started pulling highly used services like rss! The people making decisions in businesses who use Google Workspace, as a category, literally do not care at all about what Google did to Google Reader and most other end user project that Google shut down. They only care about stuff that is critical to their business and how reliable Google is in that regard. > And what if somehow, they find appscript to be too burdensome, when it does not derive much, if any, revenue? If you make unreasonable enough assumptions, anything is thinkable.
- tonymet 2y agoI think you're generally right, but the major stumbles in the messaging market leave me insecure about Google's ability to develop and sustain serious products long term, besides search.
