Is there a good site with info on writing IDE macros? I've examined the
sample macros and that helps a little, but I'd really like some more
in-depth info. For example, when would you use an EditPoint over a
TextSelection? They both seem to have very similar methods and properties.

See the "For add-in developers" section of my web site. It has tons of
resources for extensibility (macros and add-ins share the same extensibility
model). There is a free (for registered VS 2005 users) electronic book
"Working with Visual Studio 2005" that explains specific things like
TextSelection vs EditPoint.
