Macworld Magazine: March 2003
In the latest issue of Macworld magazine, Andy Ihnatko says "Forget HyperCard - The future is AppleScript Studio." He briefly offers his take on the shortcomings and advantages of developing with AppleScript Studio and he believes that AppleScript users will outgrow AppleScript and move on to "RealBasic or another conventional development environment".
While I know developers who have moved on to other development environments, I'm also aware of many who have used AppleScript for many years because it is/was the best tool for the job, and they will continue to use AppleScript as long as it meets their needs.
