What's on your mind?

You assume they quit because they get overwhelmed with requests from average users... only a few of them are, most scripters just ignore all requests for their own sake. (Just take a look at Hime's VX Ace scripts that include a warning that new feature requests will be ignored.) There are others that actually learned to program in other languages like C or C++ or C# so they find Ruby stuff a bit slow or cumbersome if they can do it directly in any version of C.

explaining the logic behind the scripting so people can start being creative even while still learning the codes

It's never been that fast, to become creative requires to get a very good understanding of many basic concepts and even care about code execution speed, avoiding bottlenecks and being able to abstract their ideas to a point where not every 6 year old kid can do it because they never have done so, yet. By the way, it also depends a lot on how inclined they actually are to programming...

As a summary, you (pretty much anybody) gotta need to be PATIENT and highly resistant to frustration and strong headaches if you want to make things progress, especially if you pretend to be quite creative. XD
