#2I got this approved at a previous employer when I was writing some VBA/Jira automation. It's.. OK. I found it slowed down my environment quite a bit and was unstable. I stopped using it eventually.

#3I had to actually google "Visual Basic Editor" to find out why it was a thing people are still using in this century, and found out that it's the editor for VBA macros in MS-Office applications. So "Visual Basic Editor" is a bit of a misnomer...

I've had the same experience with RubberDuck. MZ-tools (https://www.mztools.com/) on the other hand is a VBA tool I couldn't work without. Doesn't slow the IDE down and stable as a rock.

This actually gave me goosebumps...
Are there many modern use-cases for Visual Basic? All I can think of is horrible scripting code for Excel, Word and AutoCAD

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I think RubberDuck shows a lot of potential, it just needs the speed and stability improved now.

You wouldn't believe how much business value flows through Excel spreadsheets.

I would make fun of VBA but it is still helping save lives and catch criminals.

VBA scripting engine is built in into windows and can be called from C,C++ and more (there is also built-in old JS engine but probably less popular). Its like python 2 for linux. If you want to give scripting capabilities on windows it the #1 choice.
