Not a chance. There's nothing scary about VBA (except its inflexibility and lack of a lot of modern features), and people aren't learning that either. Of course, the last decade of vaguely threatening to remove it from Office completely (in favor of js and now python?) hasn't helped people think VBA would be a good investment of their time to learn. A required internet connection and having Python only work on Windows doesn't make it look like much better of an investment. Also, imo, Python and whatever random environments and libraries that you'll have to use with it to get your work done, will be in almost every way worse than just using VBA. And if you use VBA, your work will be effortlessly portable. The only problem I have with it is that I have to come up with ways to get the code out of the embedded IDE into source control, but there are scripts that help. > i have no reason to use excel except for basic drawing board math, if someone demands a spreadsheet out me i automate its generation in python so i never have to deal with it again I, on the other hand, do it in VBA, and expose every important calculation within clearly labeled spreadsheets so programming-illiterate people can audit them and feel confident about the output.
