I'm usin VBA currently, the problem with it is that MS want to get away from it. And so I should probably long for something with .NET in it's name. But well if MS wants to get rid of it, one day we may stay in the rains as e.g the VB6 people have been treated. Sure currently MS is all just .NET (in whatever) shadow. But nobody knows how long, and let's be honest who likes to write the same software over and over and over again just because the development tools and/or languages were deprecated.
And let's be honest a second time. MS-Office is the Standard by any means. Yes there is LaTex and yes there is OpenOffice but sorry if anyone talks about Office Software they mean MS-Office. And we have to admit that the MS-Office tools are extremly useful, especially Excel is quite good at that spreadsheets can do ;-) > > OpenOffice has some type of (Java??) scripting interface.

Well VBA and Excel is well working, I doubt that OpenOffice Basic can compete with it.
