VBA's one saving grace is that it's been available on every company computer I've ever used. Alt+F11 and I have an IDE. It's probably responsible for getting a few people involved in programming.

But it had some serious limitations and some unexpected behavior compared to "real" programming languages. I hope that adding Python to Excel can be my new "guaranteed to be there" language on coworker's computers and get even more people involved in programming.
