Although I want to provide StepTalk integration for my applications, I must admit that I never used StepTalk, AppleScript, VBScript and similar languages myself. I just keep on seeing scripts like this in the help sections of computer magazines. So there seem to be people who use it. If noone of us uses StepTalk, I agree with you that it may be better to focus on more important things. ;-)
If people just want to run a script from terminal or by double-click a script, a language binding will do. No need to go through StepTalk. But StepTalk provides something more than that. The most useful part in my opinions is to run script from application and access application through DO (I assume it can do so). I often see some AppleScript like "Tell iTunes do ...". Language binding can easily use any library as long as it is linked to that library. But it is not that easy for language binding to access any running application or even start some applications from script. So besides writing a GNUstep with script language, being able to manipulate running applications is the reason I put my eye on StepTalk. Yen-Ju
