Don't worry: Apple failed already with the idea of "programming for the 
masses": it's called AppleScript! Even the automator made only hardcore 
enthusiasts interested.

The idea that you write programs "just like you talk" sounds compelling, but 
fails in practise (for the average Mac user) because you have to know the 
vocabulary of a given application. And dare you when you write

  set position of 3rd form in scene to (42, 101)

instead of

  move 3rd form in scene to (42, 101)

Or was it "Put object"? Oh wait, no, it must be...

(or whatever - well, you get my point ;))

So Apple will fail again :)

(fingers crossed and runs for cover ;)

Cheers, Oliver
