I agree completely! The data manipulation macros are a nightmare. When I
first saw the GNU code I started putting the macros into code I was doing at
work because I thought they were "nifty". I soon discovered that they were a
headache even if one was intimately familiar with the code. The macros
render "point and click" debugging environments useless. One must always
remember and then type in the command to display a variable, rather than
just marking and pushing a button.
