VBA has been doomed for quite some time.

Support by Microsoft for Visual Basic (Classic) will end in ~3 years
unless they change their mind. ESRI will likely follow suite as they are
transitioning to .Net as well.

I have no idea what support options they will offer.. probably will
simply tell you to upgrade. I wouldn't bother learning Visual Basic
(Classic) at this point.
