What are you trying to do? If it is merely have iTunes import something when a file is dropped on a folder you can do that with Folder Actions. A good place to start is here:

Thanks! That's exactly what I want to do. It looks like Doug's got a few other useful applescripts too. Thanks for the tip!

"I'd definitely trade it for the video playback feature. What's that even doing in a music jukebox?"
"That's exactly my point. Apple doesn't feel that these features, which customers have long requested, are important enough to put resources toward."
But you're missing the other part of the equation. When apple prioritizes, they also have to weigh how much resources an improvement will take. The fixes that get done first are generally the ones that are demanded the most. But they are also generally the ones that can be done fairly easily. Hopefully gapless playback isn't a huge job, but who knows, it's possible apple made a poor decision when they first created the app and doing that will take some major rewriting, we don't know that.
So if apple hasn't done a feature yet, one possibility is that they don't consider it important, but another is that they consider it too much of a resource hog. (by the way, I assume putting in the video wasn't too tricky since they already have that functionality in quicktime)
