I agree that Mac OS 9 scripting was minimal at best. Applescript was a 
nice
concept, but relied far too much on the programmers of all the 
applications
to support it. QuicKeys could do a lot and was not application 
dependent and
was my solution.

OS X had poor scripting and initially, QuicKeys was not terribly 
functional. It
has been improving over time so that now it is quite functional as a 
scripting
solution. Particularly since it can also do mouse and button presses 
among other
things that regular scripting can not do.
