The Future of VBA?

A reading through this post, VBA in Office 14, on the Access Team Blog, seems to confirm that Office 14 will mark the beginning of the end for VBA.

This should be no surprise. Bill Gates in the months preceding the release of Office 2003, flagged that VBA would be demoted if not dumped in the version of Office after Office 12.

I have added my 2 cents to the debate in a comment to the post.
