Default VBA versus VSTO (fundamentally excell based)

After reading the posts on this forum regarding the subject of this post,
valid questions remain. 1) what is the value in switching from VBA to VSTO,
2) is there much of a movement to switch. My concerns focus on usability,
skill marketability, security of the code, and conversion of old code.

A summary of the previous posts regarding VSTO suggests that the language is
not yet mature, but simplification and ease of use should improve with
VS2008. (Chip, I've condensed and paraphrased some of your previous
comments). In addition VBA should remain mainstream in the near term, and
support for VBA should continue for the foreseeable future.

Any input that adds a little color to the issue is appreciated.
