Office client never used .net or C# to begin with

  Actually at one point they went very close to replace VBA with .net. It was called VSTA and meant to be a mini visual studio in office apps. I believe one of the office apps shipped with it in Office 2007, then they killed it.

    VSTO, right?

      Nope. VSTO actually shipped and is used to create office addins. VSTA was an embedded IDE.
