"If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail." [1]

While you can solve a lot of problems with code, code might not be the best way to solve some problems.

I want to type in some data, mix it up, explore, maybe make a quick graph, get some stats, decide if I need to make more calculations. By the time you decide on what tools to use and run your pip install or whatever, I'd be long done.

Conversely, I have seen spreadsheets used for a lot of things that they shouldn't be.
