Why do people still use VBA?
Huh? The parent clearly points out that it's much less effort and hassle to get an 80% solution.
Who wouldn't want to spend a tiny fraction of the effort to get 80% of the outcome?

Yes. But 90% of "effort and hassle" is dealing with IT department bullshit. Excel/VBA lets you sidestep that entirely.
