There’s nothing wrong with excel (as long as you stay below the 64k limit). People use it because it works. That is almost tautologically close to whatever it is that software aspires to.

Excel has gotten more people to write code than all other programming environments together. And they’ve often enjoyed doing it. It’s a fantastic success story.

Quite agreed, Excel is great, more important than Word or PowerPoint if you ask me.

But in terms of writing organized, readable code that can be used by other people, there's very little guidance.
