The worst of the two worlds: Excel meets Outlook
This is the part which saves crazy time:
The loving part of VBA is its interoperability across the Office suite, but there's no reason why that couldn't be done in, say, Python
I agree with you, but Python and pretty much every code environment is missing a few things that create a pretty high barrier to entry:
For a whole lot of things, VBA is not even needed. People put data into cells, operate on it with formulas in other cells that drop output into still other cells which are then used to get output.
Input can be almost anything these days.
Formulas have a well defined, easy to understand syntax that work across a wide variety of operators.
Output can be almost anything these days too.
And it's live. Make a change, see it happen.
That's real power! People don't have to know much to make it all work either.
I have been using Excel to transform business data for years, model business and a lot of other things, and as a rapid prototype system. I can write code too. Often I do, but the more specific and or variable the task is, like a one off need to solve yesterday, the more attractive just banging it out in Excel becomes.
Check this thing out:

It's a perfectly usable, and I would suggest one of the easiest, assemblers I've ever seen!
I just used it to knock out a little routine for a retro-game project I'm working on and was kind of stunned at how lean, accessible, functional this really is.
