I just wonder: do you use the JScript or the VBScript flavor?

I began with VBScript, but would like to switch to JScript, for two
reasons: same syntax as Javascript, and for some features which are
not available in VBScript.

OTOH, VBScript shares to a large extent the syntax with VBasic
which I have started to use...
