I love this. To me it's coming full circle. As someone who felt like they graduated to programming from Excel, I often get peeved by people who use Excel like Paint with numbers. How many times have you seen someone doing calculations by hand and entering them into rows, making pretty spreadsheet pictures with colored cells, or completely ignoring the most simple functions like SUM (much less SUMIF).

Now here they have ratcheted up the complexity several degrees... and why? to paint a picture. Cue the Lion King.
