I have to side with Stevie on this one ...
1) COM is good and COM is great - but COM wont be around forever.
2) There are lots of people with (like Richard coined) COM-a-phobia that can (otherwise) interpret the manual just fine and write some very cool scripts.
3) Some of the COM goodies are either WSH based or require extra add-ons (installs). As for WSH, some places no likey the WSH and as for add-ons - they can be a major pain-in-the-ass.
idk - there is much to be said for good old native functions. i'm not saying that embedding a few simplified XML functions is good or bad, just think we shouldn't abandon growing the language.
