Jens,

I think that the lack of a developing environment in JS is an issue only if you want to create complex dialogs: in JS you can't design them as easily as in visual systems such as VB and Delphi. That's about it I guess. Otherwise JS's built-in debugger is a great tool. If you're new to scripting I'd think you're better off with JS.

The only real issue may be execution speed. JS scripts can be slowish on long documents, but maybe it's something I haven't grasped properly yet.

Peter
