In excel, I can make a plot by typing in my numbers, then clicking the 'plot' button. Excel shows a selection of plots of my data and lets me choose the one I like the most. To do that in Python, I'd have to first choose a format to enter my numbers (I'd probably use Excel, then export CSV). Then I have to install Python, pip install a graphing library, import the CSV, then plot. I have to go through the different types of plots one by one. I've taught python and graphing, you need much more than a 2 hour lesson before people can be left alone without help I'm afraid, if they have zero programming experience. I don't claim Excel is good programming practice, or scalable, but it is much easier than Python or R. The best future thing (I think) would be an excel like interface which would show you, and let you edit, Python that did what you'd just chosen in the GUI.
