Ah well it's a million dollar question. These people were trained in excel I assume, it's cultural and then you also have this weird pivot point like C where excel has reactive semantics, data table, ad-hoc input / modeling .. it's a massive reactive data notebook on steroid that requires next to no fiddling to get working. Now as you point, things are changing.. R/julia/numpy/notebooks, reactive web frameworks.. can all suck some use case from excel. I believe that future clearly lies in the middle. Microsoft should be wise to implement some presentation/component feature to match the web. |

Yep, they would be. Although I think they're trying push the whole Power Apps model. Which, I'll admit, is an interesting ecosystem, but something on the desktop to enhance excel power users that will never have their needs satisfied by Power Apps would be beneficial. But possibly also eat into the user base that might be enticed into Power Apps instead, and the steady stream of monthly revenue from Power Apps clouds resources usage is preferable ( to MS ) than the "buy once" model for Office.
