Ease of learning is about all it has going for it these days. There are many many languages that are as easy to learn, but much more powerful and, frankly, useful.

Javascript / Typescript.

I wrote VBScript for about 7 or 8 years professionally, starting in 2010. I don’t miss it.

The syntax is often terrible (how it handles escape characters, for instance) but there’s usually a well-meaning backwards compatibility reason for that. It’s also flawed in many many other ways (classes, package management, variable scoping just to name a few).

But god damn if I can’t bash (no pun intended, har har) out code to do most things very quickly in it. It’s a fantastically accessible language, and it’s a lot more powerful than it gets credit for.
