Obviously Microsoft is expecting its users to think otherwise. And it wants to charge them for the privilege, so it must be expecting them to believe it’s an improvement worth paying extra money for. So either Python is that much better than VBA, or VBA is that much worse than Python. Take your pick. ;)

"Python in Excel is available in preview for Education users running the
Current Channel (Preview) through the Microsoft 365 Insider Program. It's
not currently available for the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel.
It's rolling out to Excel for Windows first, and then to other platforms
at a later date.
"
And like the current Thunderbird rewrite activity, it's based on the notion
that "users want New and Shiny" and "abhor boomers and all they stand for".
Thus, the desired market demographic, is to shift to the younger crowd,
to keep the business running.
Python then, is just grabbing at the first shiny thing they can see.
There is an expectation that all the users have taken a Python course
at least once in their lives. Or, at least the people that count, have.
One of the benefits of using Python, is then LibreOffice can add that,
and files with scripting can be interchanged. It would solve a certain class
of problem we have with Excel, which is the exclusivity of VBA.

I don’t think Microsoft is offering an API for accessing Office from Python comparable with LibreOffice’s PyUNO. Certainly nothing like that was mentioned on the referenced page.

LO should have stopped copying excel long ago and taken its users to a better spreadsheet experience. LO should work with Posit and build a proper analytical/statistical data platform based around R.

Note recommendation in this research paper <https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008984>, that if you really must use a spreadsheet to work with important data, at least make it LibreOffice Calc and not Microsoft Excel. > LO should work with Posit and build a proper analytical/statistical data > platform based around R. We have that, too. It’s called Jupyter <https://jupyter.org/>.

LO must have changed their behaviour as when I tested this many years ago when working with genomic data it behaved the same as excel. I noticed recently that excel finally has a toggle for date recognition and conversion. Which is way, way too late as it is a moot issue as the problematic gene names have officially been changed to circumvent excel: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-020-0669-3 >> LO should work with Posit and build a proper analytical/statistical data >> platform based around R. > > We have that, too.

If by “user-friendly” you mean “aimed at those accustomed to Microsoft mediocrity”, then you’d be right.

I mean if presented to someone for the first time do they have a fighting chance of creating *anything*. With jupyter that's a big fat nope. People aren't coders and typically don't want to be.

Here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i40d8-Hu4vM> is an example of what can be done with Jupyter, for use by totally non-techy, quality-demanding, paying-customer types.

I have no doubt that jupyter is awesome. In the right hands. Not for excel jockeys.

That’s their fault for sticking to a mediocre tool that is only capable of mediocre results. Either the quality of such work is crucial to the success of the company employing them, or it is not. If it is, then they drag the whole company down relative to its smarter competitors. If it isn’t, then they are just deadweight.

At first glance, there is a lot about Windows that is way more user-friendly than Linux. However, if you take something like Linux Mint and compare it to Windows 11, you'd wonder _how_ Windows 11 is friendlier. In Windows 11, some applications can't be removed and you don't get an idea why. Some Windows components aren't even listed in the applications so you have to wonder how to install or remove them. For drivers, they're installed through Windows Update but if they don't work right, you just have to know about the Device Manager which is impossible to find on your own because they're phasing out the Control Panel. Some programs are available through the Window Store, others through the web which means that some are repairable and easily uninstallable whereas the others aren't... and so on. For new users, Linux Mint is actually _much_ simpler than Windows is. -- Andrzej (Andre) Matuch Telegram: @AndrzejMatuch Zephyrus G14 GA401QM on Fedora 41 KDE supporting member

Why would you update through Windows Update but manage through Device Manager? Why would Device Manager be listed by right-clicking the Start button (by the way, how would anyone know it's there?) but not in the Settings? People are likely to be more lost in Windows than in Linux Mint. -- Andrzej (Andre) Matuch Telegram: @AndrzejMatuch Zephyrus G14 GA401QM on Fedora 41 KDE supporting member
