It definitely is a scary business proposition for them to improve Excel and awaken the 800lb gorilla. Microsoft is certainly capable of improving Excel in ways that might even improve the productivity of the entire world. Seems like some

Shouldn't your product be independent of Jupyter? Jupyter is amazing but still seems to have a beta feel to me as often old Jupyter notebooks will not work at all (for lots of reasons). I love python, hate the limits on google sheets
