VBA and Friends
- 75% of users hate Visual Basic A (classic)
- Its intended (and only legitimate) purpose exists inside of a product
- Microsoft is awful (duh)
- Sad attempt at object oriented development
- Insanely slow
Its performance is terrible and no serious projects should be written in this language.
Extremely difficult to learn as a new programmer
# "VBA has a place in development because it is easier to learn."
The opposite seems to be true:
- Unique logic and syntax
- Poor OOC support
- Lots of macros, meaning that lots of code is hiding under the hood and difficult to debug.
But why would you HATE a programing language?
To put it simply, "...it is entirely written by idiots" -Stuart McCormack on Visual Basic Application. The slow nature of its macros and irritating lack-of quality of life features cements most users from apathetic to hateful.
