auto execution via eSignal vs. MultiCharts - pros and cons

  1. Hi

    I wanted to ask someone who has done automatic execution of a trading strategy via eSignal alone (based on their Javascript based EFS language) versus MultiCharts' PowerLanguage (that is based on EasyLanguage) particularly on IB (or any other broker).

    What are the pros and cons of coding on EFS vs PowerLanguage? PowerLanguage seems to relatively easier to pick up than EFS - and I was wondering if it is worthwhile spending months learning EFS versus MultiCharts (using eSignal as a data)?
