No worries, no offense taken 
Yes, I do use VSC almost for anything more than 30 lines of code, I rarely store anything in buttons, but in.js files. especially so I can reuse the commands or logic.
See:
^ This 2nd one has fundamentally changed how I code for DOpus. First time you open any old script in VSC, the warning might be overwhelming, but I'll never go back.
Not me, I stoped at the Regedit error, but tested only this to verify your findings:
// run with cscript.exe test.js //E:{16d51579-a30b-4c8b-a276-0ff4dc41e755}
WScript.Echo(GetScriptEngineInfo());
function GetScriptEngineInfo()
{
var s= "";
s += ScriptEngine() + " Version ";
s += ScriptEngineMajorVersion() + ".";
s += ScriptEngineMinorVersion() + ".";
s += ScriptEngineBuildVersion();
return(s);
}
