Either I missed the first part of this thread, or you've forwarded us a
"laughable question" (either way, why is it forwarded?)
It's actually not a stupid question, and yes, there is a VBA-like scripting
language in development that will be (hopefully fully) compatible with VBA
itself. It's called Gnome Basic, and is required for Gnumeric to have full
compatibility with Excel spreadsheets - it could obviously fill this role
for all of the MS Office formats.
Yes, it is sandboxed the Right Way.
Even as keen as I am to see all lines cut between Free and proprietary
software, it's a pie-in-the-sky fiction to think the rest of the world will
see it that way (in the near future). In the mean time, dancing with the
devil using software such as Samba, GB, and all the other legacy OS
compatible addons we have is a Good Thing.
