I have written tons of Windows Batch scripts and compiled VB6, however not as much VBScript. That said, I seen have entire books about managing Windows with VBScript and I know there are many people out there that use it a lot. PowerShell being the newest kid on the block I am not aware of anything VBScript offers that PowerShell does not. Maybe manipulating Windows GUI components?
If I were learning a new scripting language for Windows from the ground up in hopes of having it become my one-stop-shop for all my scripting needs is there a specific reason or use-case where you might recommend VBScript or Windows Batch over PowerShell?

Given Microsoft's attitude (so considering support, going forward etc) and the features of PowerShell the answer is an emphatic "NO" from me.

I personally have yet to find anything that PS can't do that VBScript/Batch can.
