> There is no reason to use R when Excel can do the jobs. It is when Excel can’t handle the task at hand, R shines. I think the problem is more nuanced because Excel can do a lot.

The trick is to recognise those tradeoffs and it it's not as simple as sticking to Excel as long as things are still possible there.
