That honour belongs to MSHTML though, unless we count in the cross platform part.

I used to write HTAs all the time. Active Desktop anyone?

One of the neatest features of MSHTML was how everything was exposed as a classic COM object, which allows you to drive and interact and customize it with anything that can speak COM, and do a bunch of neat things easily.

Of course, that certainly prevented some optimizations.
