I mean no disrespect for snd or the people who use it, but to me this is 
rather like saying "it strikes me as strange that people suggest Openoffice 
when they could be using XEmacs".

Both have their places, but the more mainstream computer user (and I know 
people on this list dispute this; I myself have been trying to come up with 
ways to compose music in Perl, but by and large it's the truth) wants the 
word processor that looks like Word or Wordperfect and the waveform editor 
that looks like Cool Edit or Soundforge.

I gather that scriptability (I think with Nyquist and Python) soon will be or 
already is in the development version of Audacity.
