I agree, that is a weak reason to dislike macros.

I dislike them primarily because of the additional complexity they add that isn't always justified. All of the more complex macros I wrote I regret, especially the one I did at my last job since now others had to maintain it.

Some macro use can be justified, eg serde. But I try to avoid using proc macros where I can (and certainly never try write one anymore)
