I find this hard to believe, because CJ adds new features ludicrously fast. You might be right, it just seems unlikely to me.

Maybe not. I believe the real reasons are
1) People are scared of scripting
2) AGS might be the engine that's been around for the longest period of time => it has always had the most users => it will attract more and more users. People like to belong to as large a group as possible, or something. The amount of people using it is also thought of as saying something about its goodness.

That's a very real strength though, it's not just perceived. With such a huge community, getting help, suggestions, and constructive criticism is much, much easier. It's a huge convenience.

For me good scripting support is THE most crucial thing in an engine. I think everything should be script-controlled.

Well, you can obviously do that in AGS.
