Hm... interesting.

Yes it's an alternative, if you're willing to get sucked into
Microsoft's .NET framework.  Also, from the link above:

"QuantStudio Pro allows you to work within Visual Studio, compile your
trading scripts into binary executables and generally do pretty much
anything you want. You can build your own classes, take advantage of
reusability across your organization, etc. You can also build your own
datafeed handlers. 
"A runtime license is required for any binaries you build that use our
libraries. This license is concurrent and only used while your code is
running. The price of a runtime license is 300 USD per month."

I have to pay a monthly fee just to use software that *I* write?
That's not a viable alternative to writing DLLs for TS2000i.
