At my work, we've recently finished rewriting a macroeconomic model from Excel/VBA into Python. Would've been nice--and easier for the economists--if Python had simply been available in Excel. But I think the long-term advantages of teaching the econ modeling team Python plus gitand an agile-ish workflow (versus no defined structure that led to a tangled mess of VBA in the first place) will be worth it.
