From time to time I find myself in the middle of OS X vs. Windows wars. And occasionally, someone will pipe up that one of the reasons Office is a "better" product is Visual Basic. It strikes me that iWork and AppleScript should be able to many of the same kinds of things. Can someone outline what some of the differences between VB and AS? Is one strikingly "better" than the other?

iWork components are Applescript aware.

What is really missing is a function like the MACRO() which, in AppleWorks allow us to trigger a script without human action.

If iWork's team is fair enough to give us such a function (an solve the awful slowness of the beasts) we would quite be in heaven.
