A couple of months ago I had to develop a whole CRUD GUI in, wait for it...Excel, using VBA.
It was very much like designing desktop programs some 20 years ago using WinForms, which was actually a piece of cake using the designer tools that came with Visual Studio etc.
It's shameful that creating programs in Excel is such a smooth ride compared to even the most trivial web app. But of course, the web app must be compatible with a billion of other things, compared to Excel and VBA.
