Not only that, billions of hours of invested time and knowledge will be thrown out of the window instantly and everyone who integrates anything with Office will have to start again from scratch. Literally at least a third of the world is built on bits of spaghetti and duct tape on Office.

For developers though, this is chargeable so I'm on the fence :)

Nobody is going to pay you $1200/day to write JavaScript. The converse is true, there is an overload of low-paid JS devs.

You're right actually but I suppose it'll keep the low paid javascript devs out of my market.
