The big difference with VBA and javascript / third party solution is that I can send a xlsm spreadsheet to a colleague or another company and he will be able to run it just as well as me, I don't need to spend the next 5 years doing the support of how to reinstall the addin that is required to make it run.

Yes, that's why I said "if you don't mind using 3rd party solutions". If 3rd party solutions aren't suitable in your workplace (some workplaces would only need the extra features in internal-only documents, meaning the add-in installation could be managed by a single IT department rather than by individual users) then the Microsoft solution that's being planned is more relevant.
