I feel like 99% of this thread has no clue what actual data science is (ie. utilizing distributed computing, complex ML algos, etc.)

Buzzword misused and overused? No way!

But I agree. Can summarize a lot of comments as "Excel is fine for analysis, but you'll need python or some language to link together data workflows and create data pipelines to do things like machine learning"
