Apps script is very good and powerful, and it's been around since a very long time ago.

It seems they'll try to push it again now.

My problem with "automating Google-related tasks" was always the complexity of their APIs, specially authorization, and the need to use those enourmously complex SDKs they provide. Sometimes I want to just do some curl calls.

In the case of Google Apps Script, perhaps it would've been better if they came up with a coding environment separate from Google Drive.

Their Clasp tool lets you code Apps Script from your own editor:

Whoa, I didn't knew that. It looks great. I'll try it.
