Better to say it saves cutting and pasting, which is a damn good thing -- even if macros are an old fashioned way of doing it.
The biggest benefit of macros isn't saving the typing. It's so that if a change is required, you just have to make it once, not 35 times for the 37 times you cut-n-pasted it.
