Objection. The point is that those people who actually use "office software" in companies have absolutely no influence on what they work with. It's the manangsters and administrictators who (pretend to) "decide" about this. > because they only know a few languages at most (VBA and what they > languages they learned as an undergraduate) I don't know any scientist or engineer who has ever learned Visual Basic at university.

A lot of scientists and engineers, if they use any scripting/programming languages for "software automation" etc. tend to prefer languages that provide an interactive commandline interpreter, besides other criteria that VBA doesn't fulfil. A lot of those I know have learned Python as their genuine "bread and butter" scripting & programming language. Some even learn it as a "first language" at university these days.
