Excel's superb graphics package
That's when I realised it had to be a joke ;-) Frankly, there's a
lot to be said about Excel (which I don't use much, but my wife uses
it as her Swiss army knife for numerical tasks), but "superb
graphics" is surely not one of them. Have you ever used other
graphing tools and compared the output?
In any case, he still hasn't made any connections between what
he thinks the target user community is and what he thinks the
languae design should be. It seems to me that a poorly considered
feature is just a bad whether you write and maintain large codes
in a corporate setting or if you write (and throw away) short
codes in a garage.
