I actually really like Vimscript. It has features that many popular languages lack or have only recently got, like destructuring let [file, line, col] = split("hello.c:39:10", ":") This is the sort of feature I just assumed it didn't have, because few enough real programming languages have it. The main issue I think is that there are lots of different contexts where you can put vimscript, and different bits of vimscript are legal in those contexts, or at least seem to be.
