With the introduction of additional data structures (lists, dictionaries that can also be used for prototype-based programming) in vim7, I don't think vimscript is that bad. And you can also use python/ruby/perl/tcl/scheme/lua/whatever when you have the proper version of vim.

I'm glad it's improving.

Whilst being able to script vim with lots of different languages is great, it's a shame it's not just one, since nobody really wants some hybrid beast linked against 6 different interpreters just to run a few scripts in one's editor.
