Apple Script is the most godawful thing second only to iTunes.

Again, the non-Apple user chimes in to make claims about that he knows less than zero about.

Wrong again.

In fact I used it quite a bit when I had an MBP.

For a person who does any kind of development it's syntax is ridiculous. It's no easier to use words over symbols. Being different for the sake of being different is counter productive.

For Example

AppleScript

set theDelimiter to ","

set theString to "The guy went to the store, and then to the cafe"

set originalDelimiters to Applescript's text item delimiters

set Applescript's text item delimiters to theDelimiter

set splitText to theString's text items

set Applescript's text item delimiters to originalDelimiters

PowerShell

$TheString = "The guy went to the store, and then the cafe"

$SplitString = $TheString.Split(",")

I guess it's best for you to stay with Apple Products.
