I think this sort of thing expresses the wrong attitude. It's like saying "I can do anything in assembly, so I have no interest in your fancy 'compilers' and 'scripting languages' and 'programmer methodologies'".

The issue is NOT Excel vs Numbers, just like software engineering is not a fight about whether Java is better than Ruby. The issue IS how can we use what we do know about making professional programming safer and more productive (limited though it may be) to make amateur programming in Excel safer and more productive.

And yeah, some of that WILL involve modifying the current wild and crazy world where anything goes for a world of more discipline. But you are not helping anyone if you are the guy screaming "keep your stupid for loops and your structured basic blocks --- I want the power to use goto whenever I want for whatever reason I want".
