Are scripts (.scr) widely used?

Hi All,

I'm wondering how many people out there use scripts?

If you DO NOT use scripts, why not? Is it too complicated or is there a lack of suitable training available? 

If you DO use scripts, what sort of tasks do you automate?

The attached video is an example of a flexible script which is excel based. its an unbelievably powerful tool. I get the feeling that scripts are often overlooked as an automation tool.
