Why should I have to materialise knowledge of every type of macro command from nowhere and then get a degree in programming just to swap out my gear/customize a target mode etc?

It's unwieldy, is all I'm trying to say, and I simply don't care for macros at all and want nothing to do with them.
Because it's really not that hard at all?
Here, this should make it easy for you:

You don't need a degree in programming to do that.
