I don't feel that Python is out of reach for most who are using Excel with vlookups. I do feel that most Pandas code is poorly written and thus not at all compelling to replace Excel.

(My background is that I teach Python and Data Science to large corps.)

+1, the Pandas API is somewhere between mediocre and bad, and results in garbage code unless you use it in a carefully constrained way (which is admittedly true of many complete languages, much less libraries that organically evolved several tooling generations ago)

Not sure I agree, but interesting, so who is your target audience in large corps?

Are you disagreeing with "excel is programming" or "most pandas code is bad"?
