I noticed that too. Unless you _ask_ for a script, they throw away the scripts they write.

They are particularly bad at complex multiline parsing. Writing all sorts of weird/crude python/awk scripts and getting confused in the process.

I wish they would use Perl6/Grammer or Haskell/Parsec or similar and write better parsing scripts.
