Other than being a great development tool, it is also a complete scripting platform on it's own. Let me explain.
You can certainy generate code either from built-in or your won templates in any language. But you can also write completely stand alone applications using JScript as a processing language, backed up by powerful .NET extensions, which allow you to query databases and access powerful file access functions that standard javascript cannot. You can use the built-in links to integrate HTML based user interfaces into your macros, to create complete, potent applications - all in script (HTML and JScript), no projects, no compilations, just text!
Moreover, the Script Editors come with ready made code templates, which allow you to add functionality in seconds. Just copy and paste and you have a database search screen in seconds. By the same token you can create a screen that plots a graph using the pre-prepared templates and so on. Absolutely amazing stuff.
