VBA or VB.net

Is there anything that one could do using VBA that couldn't be done
more thoroughly with VB.net (more options)? For programming Outlook
functionality, does VBA do a better job than VB.net?

Is a good reason to use VBA because it's simpler to use than VB.net?

VBA is for a power user to develop code for their personal use.

VB.NET is for developing applications, such as COM add-ins that can
integrate tightly with Outlook, that you can distribute to other people.

Is there any issues involving which Outlook
version VB.NET/C# can support?

Thanks.

For Outlook 2000, you have to create and distribute your own PIA. For
Outlook 2002, you can use the MS PIA but will need to distribute it. For
Outlook 2003, the PIA should install on first use.
