It doesn't matter too much. If people need to script at all, the case on
newbies is already lost. That said, Python is certainly a lot more
common, so the entry barrier for not-so-newbies for scripting is
considerably lower.

Scripts should be editor-independent.

Neither. Nobody reads multipage documents. People recognize two kinds of
education: interactive help, like tooltips, and web pages, like a wiki.
Tools have to be foolproof. There is no such thing like "user error",
tools have to deal properly with _any_ user input. And they should offer
explanations in ambiguous cases.

Yes, that's lots of work, and I don't demand anybody to do this. But
swapping LaTeX for PDF or spending hours to document in LaTeX is
certainly wasted time.
