The idea was that we (the developers) would also be using the scripting language to add features to Evolution, so that we didn't have to write all the features in c (which is a very time consuming process, especially since we don't have the luxury of a garbage collector), and so it's not necessarily important that a lot of users will use the scripting functionality. It's just an added bonus. This is why we are so against languages such as Perl. or at least this is my thought... and I think Michael Zucchi is thinking the same.
