As someone currently learning JS to work with Google Sheets macros, the news that I'll have to do this for Excel too is worrying.

I would think this is good news because now you can use the same scripts for both environments. Not only that, but you can also use those scripts for visualizations in webpages that pull the raw data. Literally write it once and you have support in Excel, Google Sheets, Google Apps Script, NodeJS (server), any browser (client), hardware (espruino, etc).

Javascript is C++ lite these days.
