I loved early VB. VBA too. I built some really fun and powerful apps with them in my first proper IT job. And it was a joy to use.

Pre-Google, you only had the manuals and help files and nothing like Stack overflow to look up out how to do stuff but I never felt it slowed me down; it was that well designed.

Edit: damn, I miss those days. I soon got seconded onto an ERP implementation project and my career has never been as fun since.

I built a few things with vba back in the day, most notably a project management system with another guy. I prefer python any its myriad of libraries for what I do now though.

Maybe because most people are now using iPhones and Android devices and not a PC with Windoze.

The biggest issue with Microsoft, from my perspective, is their consistent habit of abandoning their products. It’s only a matter of time before they stop releasing updates and bug fixes for my covidshot wifi.

@Blanks sounds like Google too tbh

I liked the only Windows phone I had. I think it was a Nokia from memory. Aside from them completely screwing up the Windows Desktop UI to try and match the phone UI, it wasn’t a bad product.

Worse, buying good products that I enjoy, ruining them and then abandoning them.

I don’t know if I would trust it not to bsod when I am trying to make a 911 call.
