And me. 

It's not so much that I like Macro32 (ok, I do, a little bit - to pretend to have full control).
My main reason for welcoming it is that it is the only, free, always there, 'compiler' 
I occasionally write/wrote little handy tools, most for file analysis/fixes.
A text file with the program or Email copy and past of the code is often the easiest, sometimes the only way to get it on a customer box.  
No, Macro is not suitable to code up an accounting system, but there is still a time and place for it.

Ditto for DCL - 'programs'.
