It was such a clusterfuck and it sucks that you need to work on that code now, but I have a lot of nostalgia for VB. It was really novel and easy to use and quite honestly (IMO) good for what it was. I think I said verbatim "holy shit, a monkey could make a program with this" when I first used VB 4.

VB is still great. I use it to fully automate a lot of Excel-based tasks, like looping through thousands of Excel files to pull values or update spreadsheets with new features.

Sure, there are more powerful tools, but VBA is built in and works really well for some tasks like that.
