The downside is it's VBScript, which I believe is going he way of the dodo,

VB will be around forever IMO. A similar variant (VBA) is in Microsoft Office and there's so many macros (and people that rely on macros) out there that I don't think Microsoft would ever dare to break them. It's effectively a lighter-weight variant of VB6 that was released maybe 25 years ago now. VBA has only had fairly minimal changes since then, the obky manor change being the addition of 64-bit support.

Microsoft has deprecated vbscript and it will not be shipped with future versions of windows.
