VBA will stay relevant as long as Excel stays relevant, because while there are ways to automate Excel using other languages, they require more ceremony and you can't bundle their code in the spreadsheet file.

(And yes, VBA can be used to automate other MS Office products, but Excel probably has the lion share here)

Agree! Sometimes using VBA becomes a matter of contextual convenience.
