I highly disagree with using macros in place of actual refactoring. Macros can have their place I guess, but when you use them instead of refactoring, you’re simply making code less straightforward to read for other people, creating layers of redirection that have to be fully understood before being able to grok the code. Basically every IDE for modern languages quickly and correctly refractors, without any risk that you accidentally change a string value, for instance, or have to worry about scope rules, and then you have code that is understandable without redirections or having to resort to clunky text replacement.
