Because it's not too close to real programming.
And Torque has some resemblence of C++
This is VB

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Price As Single
If Option1.Value = True Then
Price = 1#
ElseIf Option2.Value = True Then
Price = 1.25
Else: Price = 1.5
End If
If Check1.Value = 1 Then Price = Price + 0.25
If Check2.Value = 1 Then Price = Price + 0.5
If Check3.Value = 1 Then Price = Price + 0.75
Text1.Text = FormatCurrency(Price, 2)
End Sub
Does that look anything like C++, Java, TorqueScript, JavaScript, or anything? That's why I hate it.
