From time to time I find myself in the middle of OS X vs. Windows

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.

I'm not really VB savvy, although wouldn't it be safe to say that
applescript actually gives better interaction with other apps. and the
OS? I guess if we're specifically talking macros then i guess vb/
office is more unified?
