I believe some things are "experimental" because the code for
implementing them is being rewritten or updated and they may not be
considered fully stable or finished or up to quality standards or

for recording them (as opposed to writing them) might still be under
development. I don't know this for sure in the case of macros, but it
seems logical to me.

I was only aware of two things being enabled in "experimental mode". Macro recording and some kind of editing mode in Calc. If you have a list of other things I would love to see it. Note that I attribute that information to Michael Meeks.

Why is the recorder marked as Experimental? I will guess. Because it generates dispatches which provides little to no incite into how the internal objects work. Record a macro in say Word... Never done it, but I have seen recorded macros that are very readable using the API.

Finally, to address another question... Well, when someone says "macro", I think StarBasic. You will find people refer to macros using java script, Python, and numerous other languages.
