Why do i not see may people using this type of cell ref? [A1].Select

[tonywatsonhelp]

Hi Everyone,
I appreciate this is a different type of question but I'm just wondering why i don't see many people using "[A1]" to reference a cell instead of Range("A1")
it clearly a lot quicker to type, and I know it cant be used all the time, but when it can why is it not used?

if its just personal choice then fine, but I use it all the time and worry these something i don't know about it?

any idea advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Tony

You don't get the Intellisense using this notation.
See it as part of Excel, instead of VBA

Sub jec()
[A1:A20] = [if(A1:A20 <> "","test","")]
End Sub
