It mind-boggles me that microsoft are not investing in VBA more, its userbase is massive. Sure its old and has its problems but I'm sure continuing to develop it alongside more modern solutions would help them rather than hinder their efforts. Make it more similar to other things out there and eventually people will change over.
- wvenable 5y agoMicrosoft borked it with the migration to .NET. Instead of making VB.NET 100% compatible with VBA they created a unnecessary C# clone with a VB skin. That decision ended VB as a viable product and any migration path for VBA in Office. If they had made VB.NET fully compatible, then we'd all just have the CLR in Office and we could be using any number of languages to write Office integrated software.
