as somebody who is very experienced with both writing crud apps and excel there's still a lot of cases where excel wins. a big one for me is making m&a models, stuff like that, excel is better bc you can organize view and move around data, re run calculations, whatever else in a tighter loop. and it's better at taking data in kinda inconsistent formats. there's a reason it is still king of IB, PE, all the finance world. this is because excel was "low/no code" before it was a tech meme with vc money. |

The programmers who look down their nose at Excel are doing the exact same thing in Jupyter Notebooks and in their REPLs.
>I can see the state of any given variable at any time >I can rerun the same function on different inputs, or different functions on the same inputs >All without having to restart my program!
Remind you of anything?
Anybody who does print(df.head()) is pining for Excel…
