I considered VBS and other methods before looking at AutoIT since you can do much nicer interfaces that are much simpler to use. The problem that you'd face is that they aren't as transparant as an AutoIT script for people to look into and see the mechanics of it (and see that people won't be hacking your account and sharding your purples). Even the most basic understanding of coding would show that the above script simply moves files around for you.
It would be pretty easy to code this in C++ as well, but the whole point was to make something that you could either get from a safe location as a compiled version or preferably run from a script that you can assure yourself is safe.
Walking the line between usability and paranoia is a tricky task
