One should note that this comes from xlwings, a Python-in-Excel plugin with a $1,490 professional lifetime license.
Excel's changes will end up eating their reason to exist.
While that's fair, the author makes that disclaimer at the start of the article and he specifically addresses where to go with xlwings. But above all, his arguments are right on the money...
If you take a look at Excel’s implementation, Python in Excel is going to be part of this person’s sales funnel.
I'd expect this once users see what can and cannot be version-controlled.
Maybe. As with many things Microsoft, one guy can do a better job.
And anyway, Microsoft did this in reaction to increasing demand. The pie will grow faster than Microsoft's pie slice will take from this guy.
Jetbrains still makes delightful products, even though MS had been pushing their turd of an editor onto everyone since forever...
Yet they feel threated enough, to have started Fleet and SpaceCode.
