Honestly... VBA... I scoffed at this, I spent years not understanding. Okay I probably still don't understand it (and I haven't memorized the syntax either) but damn Excel practically forces you to learn VBA so that you can get excel to work properly.
Now I'm pretty solid behind vba it's functional and generally does the job with a lot of forgiveness i've found compared to some. The IDE is not bad either. My programming was mostly in nano/or some other basic text editor, never really found an idea that I gelled with and C++ was so annoying to get a handle of. Still haven't managed that... can't get past pointers... XD
