Is it a war between automatizing systems? Everything you can do with Automator, you can do it with Applescript but the inverse is not true. If you are a developer you will find it refreshing to automate some simple repetitive tasks with automator, but you will inevitably hit the limits of Automator and switch back to scripting; even if its a script action inside of Automator.
