You would not believe what some of my co-workers have achieved in Excel and VBA. Complete scheduling systems that tie in to three databases, complicated code that analyzes metal removal. And they don't consider themselves programmers. The lack of programming knowledge mixed with VBA makes for an maintainability nightmare, but hell, they're doing a good job of Getting Things Done. I would love for Microsoft to replace VBA with a language that these people can still use, but is easier for a programmer to take over once the scope increases past the abilities of Excel. I'm not sure if javascript is that language (I think a C# derivative would be better), but it might be.
