I guess that answers that question! I'd use macros only as a last

(Again exaggerating and imputations. *sigh* - Abandon all hope, ye

Obviously the entire world-wide programming community
disagrees with your opinions.

Well, I certainly disagree with the (so well known) exaggerations of
bart, but I have a similar principle here; I avoid macros if I can.
I like languages where every construct is under "direct control" of
the compiler with a single abstraction principle (as opposed to
two-step interpretations). It's all not worth a discussion, I think,
and I certainly see and acknowledge "valid" applications of macros.
Just saying that I understand his reluctance here.
