Here's something that might make the pain a bit more bearable: when you do
learn As or VB, you'll also know the language needed to script a whole range
of applications, from Photoshop to Illustrator to Word to Excel to whatever.
So you'll be able to script whole workflows, and build documents involving
multiple applications. That's potentially a lot of gain for your pain.
