There will always be overlap in what a scope allows. Personally, I use StackOverflow just for questions that are purely programming based, that will be compiled into a program. Batch files are just lines of commands, freely editable, and user accessible. You do not need to be a professional programmer to do Batch programming.

I feel that Powershell fits in the same boat. VBA programming could fit in both; it's a powerful language that can turn your Office document into a program, but it's also simple enough that the average user has access to it and may fiddle with it.

From the Stackoverflow Help Center:

Ask about...

Specific programming problems
Software algorithms
**Coding techniques**
**Software development tools**

Don't ask about...

**Questions you haven't tried to find an answer for (show your work!)**
Product or service recommendations or comparisons
Requests for lists of things, polls, opinions, discussions, etc.
**Anything not directly related to writing computer programs**

So, I would say those questions can be here or there. Also, on the question you linked to, a mod already weighed in saying it's OK.
