From a developer's point of view, HCGS is a far superior tool. The
scripting language can be used to automate many tasks that are
impossible using SimpleScript and HS 3.1. A wrote a simple stack to
generate the Truetype sample graphics. All I have to do is click the
mouse, perhaps adjust the line spacing using the arrow keys, then click
again to save the graphic. You can't do that with HS. From a user's
point of view though, HS is better because of the lower memory
requirements and the run-time module.
