"... triggers can help automate a lot of things."
And automating it means you aren't playing it, it means your computer is, and that's both wrong and unfair, let alone far less fun for both sides. (Whether you are willing to admit it or not. You are deriving your fun from writing scripts, not from playing the game. Realize that.)

In the long run, two players with identical skills, one familiar with a complex trigger system and one using nothing but aliases, I think the complex system will come out on top.
And why is that a good thing? Why *should* it be that you "win" because you have a faster link, a better computer, a better automation program? That means *you* aren't better at the game, it means your machines are better, and there is no value in that.
