Which is exactly my point. We've gone from "Well, I can use it to define a ternary operator" or "I can use it to define a 'with' block" or "I can create continuations" or a number of other specific examples to "Uh, well, I just like them, here I do this with them" and in my experience there's always an easy "Well, the Pythonic way to do that is this and it's not all that much harder, may even be easier, and is a standard part of a relatively simple language rather than your own hand-rolled thing".
It's a very different argument than it was ten years ago when I first got into Python. It's gone from really strong pro-macro points to personal opinion. I respect and acknowledge that opinion, no sarcasm. But it's not the same.
Your last paragraph isn't relevant to me because the specificity of your example is misleading. It's really hard to come up with an actual macro use case that is not covered by modern Python and is still actually a good idea. (It's trivial to come up with bad uses of macros not covered by Python, but I'm hardly crying about that.)
