Julz, as a programmer I understand your position. What I dont get is the following:

Modular function do not help the community if they are not available. So if we agree to implement your idea then it would be best to have a cutscene-template available in the T7 pack.

But if everybody writes an editor like (yung) or a script library like you or Phemox, then it is no workflow at all. It needs much more programming for everybody of us.

Because of that every modern language supports components, re-usable classes or com objects. So it is easy to exchange solutions.

And besides that all modelling and animation packages use a visual interface to create such data and I think for good reasons

I am sure that the approach of yung is a very good one.
