Aboslutely. But I'm not sure that the draw was (or is) that
unexperiencd users could do things in a untrusted context. The draw
was, I think, always the ease and speed of development, and the way
that you could do just one little thing and immediately see it
working,  without the need to write loads of code first. The untrusted
security context was the price you had to pay for the speedy
development. You needed to dance around the security restrictions and
do easy things in a complicated way.
