In my experience, there are people out there who don't program, or who don't feel that it's a productive way of doing things. I'm firmly in the Python camp, but recognize that my workplace has several JMP licenses, and the majority of engineers are satisfied with Excel. And I never let anybody see how long it takes me to do things. ;-)

However, those people also belong to the most-of-the-world who are still leery of "open source" or anything that doesn't come from a known brand.

This thing could be an option for someone who wants to mess around with data but isn't comfortable mentioning it to the boss until they see for themselves if it's worthwhile.
