16 years ago I developed some apps with MS Access that interacted with MS Outlook. It was rather easy given the integrated IDE, debugger and being able to create forms and call a CLI app (zip). I contemplated suggesting my managers to build something serious with some web tech -- also ubiquitous and easy to deploy PHP -- and it looked a lot more complicated right away!
Later, I used to be Django developer, and I think it would be even harder to deploy and maintain.
The only inconvenience I recall was some functions had tedious API, arrays/lists were hard, had to be created like kinda Collection.new(...).

Imagine what people would do if VBA was a better language and had a better IDE that wouldn't scream at you every time it found a syntax error in your code-in-progress.
