Since I found out yo may write
[Sheet2!A1:b2].value
instead of :
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:B2").Value

I would like to know wether this is bad practice or just a performance issue

Using the [] method is slower than second method. I always use
the second method, though that is a matter of personal
preference.

I thought VBA was compiled before execution.
If true, how come one method is faster than the other?

The contents of the [] characters are evaluated at run time.

I sometimes use [] because of brevity. Harlan always jumps on me when I do
it.

Why am I not surprised?

Following conclusions reached on the use [], does the same apply to
using
(for example) [Sum(A1:A100)] instead of
Application.Sum(Range("A1:A100") or
WorkSheetFunction.Sum(Range("A1:A100")?

Thanks
