App Script is great for knocking together ad-hoc spreadsheets that pull in data from your company's HTTP APIs. It's the best thing I've seen so far for giving non-technical colleagues visibility into whatever organisation data you have that's programatically available. They already understand spreadsheets, so there's no complexity to overcome when they come to play with them. It's trivial to base the output on a few user-defined cells, so you can put together fairly powerful features without ever having to build a user interface. You even get to do stuff with the logged in user's Google account. And since the toy apps seldom get too big, JS that you write in your browser is the perfect low-friction development environment.
