Some of these ideas get so ingrained in older programmers that we forget how much mental overhead they involve. I only got a sense of it myself after I returned to a somewhat imperative language (Python) after years of using functional languages. VBA is great if you want to make spreadsheets do things they couldn't otherwise.
