What to use instead of Visual Studio for Applications?

What is the Microsoft successor to the obsoleted Visual Studio for Applications (VSA) technology, or what is a good alternative?

If you're just using MS Office, you can use Visual Studio Tools for Office.

I believe the successor was Visual Studio Tools for Applications. Although I'm not sure if that is that is still support. Version 2.0 was released with Visual Studio 2008 and hasn't been updated since.

From what I've seen, the answer is PowerShell - a full .NET powered scripting language, designed for systems administrators (and useful for developers), successor to .cmd and .bat files, and able to be embedded into other systems fairly easily.
