Programmers have instinctive contempt for spreadsheets, both legitimate (I had to scale/implement a real system to do what ridiculouly spaghetti-coded spreadsheet X did) and illegitimate (this allow untrained office person X to do what I, awesome programmer, could be doing for 10x the cost).
Spreadsheets are by now almost... 40 years old? And they are ubiquitous in business still despite the explosion on software written for various purposes. The spreadsheet model is a powerful computing and automation platform, with good-enough zero-code UI and organization.
