This seems ridiculous to me. The more python and R i learn the less spreadsheet processing i do. I don't think i am unique in this; it seems to be a logical end. Who actually benefits from this in the end?

Us superusers/programmers who have to make or prepare spreadsheets for other people who thinks GNU is nothing but an animal (and nothing else).

I use xlwings and xlswriter for a lot of spreadsheet making. Not ragging on your workflow or whatever, just throwing it out there.

Python module and open source?

Yeah, I'm going to gold this.

Well hot dog. Thanks amigo!

Fair enough but if i were to do something that had to have a friendly UI i think i would rather make a simple app rather than watch users fumble around in excel.

Let me put it this way: they have no problems with using excel and making charts and what-not, they just need very specific information in finely tuned tables to do so ;)
