"No need to waste time with scripts and stuff.", you mean other than learning and knowing what the script does as opposed to hoping the apps' developers are honest, never die, and never sell out.
It's all FOSS. Whoever gets doubts about the devs can check the source or have it checked by experts. They sell out or die? Switch to other frontends or forks. I'd never trust any dev blindly, but if I can choose between these ones and Google... well.
A compiled app is not FOSS unless you compile it yourself, which, shock of shocks, means need to waste time with scripts and stuff. Sorry, but you are making excuses.
I guess then we have to agree to disagree.
