BASIC was a product for Apple customers; as far as I know it was never a mainstream choice for writing system or application software at Apple. The first 6502 assembler I ever used was written in BASIC, but that was on a Commodore machine, not an Apple machine.

I was thinking that too, but I think to remember that they wrote some apps with it. Educational stuff, etc.

Woz mentions some apps:

Fair enough. That's interesting.
