[Edu-sig] Excel losing out to open source?

[kirby urner]

I know in my own Python classes I talk about the power of a pandas
dataframe as like having a spreadsheet and a database object combined, in a
container you get to program around, in Python.  What in Office is like
that?

There's an shift away from spreadsheets as the cornerstone of data analysis
perhaps?

The JP Bader link goes to further discussion.  Also check Chipy archives.

This looks like Microsoft realizing they are losing to Jupyter Notebook and
Pandas + Matpotlib.
