Scripts? well, i think that they can help the advanced programmers to use the time wasted on writing simple commands,use that time for cooler stuff. And for the rookies to not be too afraid of programming. I think that the veteran programmers should encourage the rookie programmers into not being completely dependant on the script. This new way of presenting the code may speed things up.
I mean, there is a good side and a bad side for almost anything, if we stick to the old way of writing code, new programmers might get intimidated by all those functions, but after practicing they can master it, and be real coding wizards.
On the other hand, scripting might spoil them, and the people that went trough all the hardships of dry code might feel not so good about it, but the rookie might get interested on what its going on under the scripting, and the veteran could work better things out with scripting help. And if the rookies don't want to practice with real code, you can always beat the crap out of them, hehehe.
In conclusion, using scripting should be like smoking.... Handle with care.
