Hello fellow listers,
This is a very interesting discussion for me, considering I was also just about to take more classes on VBA so that I could modify ESRI applications. I am wondering if I should then also look into python (as well as .net and C#)
since it is my understanding that esri is now using this programming language for their 9.0 products. I am also curious, if there is a GIS industry standard (not just esri) for a programming language. Which is, of course, probably just a pipe-dream, but at the very least, is there one programming language that could be valuable knowledge for a suite of different gis apps?
thanks in advance!

Goodbye VBA, Hello .NET
fortunately there is VB.NET which is not too tough a transition.

I would learn C# and .NET.

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.
