      .. I wouldn't be able to use Applescript at all




Precisely.

JavaScript is the only language that works on both platforms -- Mac native is AppleScript (and I'm pretty sure it is a 'real' programming language), Win native is VBScript (now there's some doubts :-) ). If you ever, EVER consider a platform transfer, or -- as I do -- work in a multi-platform office, use JS exclusively.
