The scripting language was kept down like that so that it would match tintin
and lintin and zmud all of which are very powerful clients and you can get
scripts for all of them and easily port them.  You can use rejects in the
aliases just fine.  Now I don't use VIP but I support the guy who made it
because he is one of us and if you had a true complaint you would have made
it to him and he would have fixed the problem.  I know because he was
looking for those exact complaints when he put it out.

All this is going off the last version I looked at:
1) There is no regex trigger matching.
2) Rather than let you use a pre-existing language, you have to use their
scripting language, which isn't nearly as powerful as lua/python or the
others that mush lets you use.
3) There already exist free, open-source clients that do way more for free,
with mush it's a matter of installing a plugin. Most of the people that mud
with me use jaws, so it's not an issue until tonight when I'm trying to make
Windoweyes work, but I really don't see the point in paying for a client
when you can get way more with mush, tintin++ or something else out there.
