I mean, there is nothing wrong with state, per se, and yes, this Excel-ish paradigm is awesome.
Although: Most Excel power users have automatic calculations disabled. Why? They want to control when full calculations. If you know that you want to change three things, you can change three things (in the correct order, which you - fair enough - must know), then calculate the rest (F9 in Excel, recalc below in Jupyter if - fair enough - your notebook is in topological order).
In Pluto, you sort of rely on your calculations being quick.
