My issue isn't that programmatic submission needed to be easier, but rather the API for acting on the creation, etc. of nodes. Just got less consistent and harder to use. As of this patch, hook_nodapi no longer gets called, for example, with $op='update". -Peter

I haven't had a chance to look at the details of the nodeapi patch in question, but I will say that programmatic submission of data using forms just got a bit simpler, as http://drupal.org/node/80470 was committed. It adds a 'drupal_execute()' function that processes forms without any of the rendering/ui cruft.
