    It’s a scripting language.

    A solid, verbose, diverse scripting language that gives you impressive control over Windows environments.

    If some people are delivering malware or phishing, that sucks, but it doesn’t negate the languages merit.

    It would be the same as ceasing production of spray paint because of taggers.

    The ends don’t justify the means.

      They have an alternative called Powershell that can do what VBS does and more. Its a modern and actively developed scripting language that Microsoft undoubtedly expect you to port your code into, that is if you cant use a cloud product first wink wink

      It will be a shit show of course, at least for those orgs that dont block this depreciation outright via whatever method comes out. Still, there is putty to patch the holes.
