It's also easier to do scripting with J since you can just use files. The (Dyalog) APL workspace infrastructure is very powerful but a bit heavy to use when all you want is a simple script. Of course, large banks and Fortune 500 companies seldom use just simple scripts, so that makes sense I guess.
