Plus the Automator tool, which lets you build your own programs by chaining together the inputs & outputs of "actions" provided by applications on your Mac.

Yes, I was going to mention this, too. I bet only 1% of Apple Mac users know about this amazing tool. The same might be said even for macros in common apps like Word or Excel. Most people probably wouldn't consider this "programming," but it does automate quite a bit of work if you bother to learn them.
