VBScript was literally the prescribed way of building web applications for IIS. This was a long time ago and things were way different than they were now. ASP was a revelation compared how web applications were built prior to it's introduction.

It seems archaic now but those were archaic times.

They could have used Thistle to move to PHP ten years ago and saved a lot of money.
