In my staunch opinion, the "one size fits all"-thingy is Bad And Evil.

I agree. I know this may step on some toes, but all the concern about making a script run cross-platform, making sure it works with or without GUI's, makes alot of simple code complex, and harder to use. After all, what are "scripters like us" for? You should be able to take a script that you like and modify it to do what you want and need on your platform. Microsoft(or other big code producing entities) don't write it's code so it compiles cross-platform, why should we?
