A lot of this was already doable, since it's built on almost entirely plain text files, but a friendlier interface is always welcome, and being able to work with bases is a huge plus.
I welcome this "scriptability" improvement. I often have to do some bulk updates across a few dozen files and while I can whip up python or sed - I'd rest assured there's a more stable interface. but more importantly it opens doors to integrations with applescript and claude and whatnot
