The point I am trying to make is that because someone does not use their own product it's not a real case of disendorsement.
Looking at this from another angle I look at what commercial operators use to power websites and from where I look at it far more use ASP, which more often than not run VB Script coding, rather than using Perl or Javascript or even using the poor man's alternative PHP. There must be a reason why. Perhaps it works better, perhaps you can do more with it or do more in less time.
The reason why you go to university and learn C/C++, Perl, etc is because they work across Unix and Windows platforms with no problems. Unless I have read the books I have the wrong way I do believe that VB is suitable only for the Windows environment.
In any case, what has the time taken to code in a new function got to do with anything? If it does the job you want and the work takes less time I would consider that a definite advantage.
