[AccessD] Access 2007 Question

I have downloaded and built all the Access 2007 template apps. Every single
one of them does its magic with macros not with VBA. This begs some
questions:

1. Does this indicate that developers are no longer welcome in the Access
community? How are we to read this, when even Northwind has been translated
to macros from VBA code?

2. Is there a wizard that converts a macro to VBA code? Or should I just cut
and paste the macro in question to the code window and then attempt to
translate it to VBA code?

3. Should we Access developers regard this as the definitive signal to move
to Visual Studio or some other dev platform? (Just about the only thing that
keeps me on Windows is Access; take away that and you may as well call me an
Ubuntu boy.)
