One of my collogues seems to now think Excel macros are a good thing and something that should be used on the reg.

I don't like this. Crappy in-house software is my department. And I won't use F***** Excel for it either

    VBA is kinda cool imo. You can do a ton of cool shit with it. And a lot of businesses are MS Office houses.

    Recently wrote a VB script to scan a Word document for text that could be transformed into web links. Seems easy enough, and it was, but that company had PEOPLE doing that task.

    Those like 70 lines of VBA are going to save dozens if not hundreds of labor hours.

    I guess all I'm saying is that VBA is absolutely not my first choice for languages, and I'd probably even argue against becoming a .NET/MS Office house citing better alternatives... but it's not up to the programmer what platform the client is on, and there is a lot of work in VBA.
