1.  It's supported on all Windows Systems, no installs required, no dependencies.

​

2. It runs without slowing down your machine. Batch code isn't super fast, but it runs consistently without taking up your CPU, RAM, or Disk.

​

3. it's easy to look at and modify, easy to understand, and hard to hide what you're doing

​

4. it's easy to change later on and add updates.

​

5. it's not going anywhere. It should be in every Windows there is. There are also 3rd party programs trying to port batch into linux.
