Excel I agree with.

But sometimes there is value in teaching the old tools/frameworks for doing something. For instance, in bioinformatics, I prefer students that can explain what the FASTA format is versus just boinking the pretty GUI button on the proprietary format used by their sequencer.

Not sure if the post is about GUI vs non-GUI. I read it as use R or pandas instead if SPSS.

I agree. I learned a lot of bioinformatics stuff from the ground up, because I was learning python at the time, and found it super useful as practice. Years later, I discovered https://rosalind.info/ and cursed the fact that I hadn't had access to that when I was learning.
