AppleScript suffers from the same problem as most things that are designed to be easy to use (like MS Visual Basic etc), in that they are great until you get to the tricky 5% of the project when you suddenly find they can't do the one thing that you need them to do


When I started my current job I had a long, drawn out argument with my boss (great way to start!) about the merits of writing interfaces in VB as opposed to bashing it out in plain C with the win32 API. His argument was that after being introduced to VB for the first time he created a complex windows app with multiuser database access in under an hour. He then spent a week trying to bit-bang something out of a parallel port under NT4.0.
