Is there anything that sucks more ass than working with a Word VBA macro?

yes, working with TWO Vba macros ooooooooh

XSLT.

@AleCx04 Or that.

When that vba script starts pulling data from access. That sucks ass and balls at the same time, big mouth issues.

Yep, when you relearned VBA and punched out some code for a project, that is anything but well defined. After delivering they are happy for two weeks just to tell you: "We had to rip it all apart and rewrite with those weird lookups, that we don't understand as well. But you have to support it now." Also this is pretty exaggerated.

@C0D4 yeah that shit is worse!

yes having them built in on the company system and having them send emails. Imagine having to deal with HTML written inside a VBA macro inside of the company ERP

@jonathands whoa, that’s a shit sandwich they’ve dished you

@jonathands there's insane, and then there's mentally deranged.

I'll stick to my Access queries in vba.

VBA in PowerPoint has to be worse.

@retnikt can PowerPoint even have mac.... oh dear god what hell do you have to live in to turn that on?

@retnikt did get asked to look at VBA in Publisher once, a very narrow escape..

@Root xslt is actually pretty cool, from what i remember.

OP: ever tried working with the LibreOffice's knockoff of vba macros? ;)

@Midnigh-shcode It's a cool way to give yourself a headache and lose faith in humanity.

I have VBA, but I actually had a really terrible experience trying to replicate a VBA on LibreOffice.
