Man I hate VBA as much as the next guy, but when the IT department has your network so locked down you cant install anything. Having that hidden tab in Excel to write a script to automate some mundane task was really useful. I like python, but there's no fuckin way my ex employer would just allow me to run random python code like they did for VBA. It was a gov job btw.
Python is soon to be integrated into excel, I might not be a python fan but if it's gonna replace vba I'm all for it.
Afaik the python is ran on Microsoft servers, so not exactly a perfect solution. I doubt it will run offline at all
