I have expressed a wish to developers for having ability to enter arbitrary amount of meta data in ME and access them in script. This way it would be possible to write some kind of universal script, which could interpret meta data and do some things (like timed spawn, auto despawn and so on). This would be useful for mission designers without coding knowledge.

Cut and paste approach begins to show disadvantages when you need to make multiple parts work together. You simply need to know what those parts do, or desirable result will be hardly reached.

Start a whining campaign (targeted at Luthier). I am serious. I got impression that devs usually help us only in their free time, and there is no one assigned for writing any documentation/samples/examples for us.
