Why skript can be more useful then plugins

[Shprqness]

Firstly i want to address something, for all you kiddies out there saying skript is easy blah blah blah, tell me, would you rather go through a 10m process of getting your spigot api for your plugin, making a class, making a project, writing a solid 7 lines min to make a command send a text or spend legit 1m on writing a text skript.

command /mcmarket:
    permission: mc.market
    trigger:
        message "&cThat easy"

I never personally touched Skript before, as there's no need to. Yes, for a single command, Skript is probably faster and easier, but that's not what most people want. In pretty much all contexts, people will be wanting very complex plugins, such as cores. There's no way to do that in Skript, and if there was, there would be many limitations, performance issues and overall hassle with it.

Edit: Even so, most developers will have some sort of template project, which they can just copy + paste for a new one, allowing deployment within minutes.

Yes, I would.
(would rather write 10 mins of code than 1m of script)

I understand the argument, however i was just trying to state that skript is not at useless as some uptight java devs think it is

Most of the ‘developers’ on this forum don’t even actually know java lol.

but still... skript is cancer

I'm not joking but I find Java way easier then Skript

Skript has limitations and you can only make Minecraft plugins with it.

I mean, it's a Minecraft coding language. And It is very useful for people who own a server and don't know how to code or can't afford a developer.
80% of the haters are Java Developers, yes, Java is better than skript, but that doesn't make it as a plugin useless like it's useless to you.
If you understand skript, you can actually code a core with good performance.
Also, a lot of scripters get into java because of skript. After skript-mirror was released, a door opened for them. So I don't see how it's useless.

The other 20% of the haters are just people who didn't even test Skript or tried to do something with it, didn't know how to. messed up. Now saying Skript is trash.

I used skript a lot, and I did some crazy things that everyone loved on my server and it caused 0 issues because I knew what I was doing. Now, I got into Java, because of skript. I'm now able to code a fully functioning RPG server in java. But even tho I now know how to code in java, I didn't leave skript. I still use it and challenge myself with it. it's fun.

I'm not being defensive or anything, I'm just trying to state some facts for you haters to try and see what skript is really about. And what it's really for.

Each their own. If you aren't too interested in software development, ''scripting'' can be fun.
