What about "R Tools for Excel"? I worked on "R4Calc" 6 years ago (https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/R_and_Calc) and this project received over 25K downloads before it became inactive.

Having something as easy to use as Excel, with access to R's scripting language, would make my life immensely easier.

Yes, but native support in Excel for R would be much more interesting to me and certainly the businesses we sell to.

yes - i'd love to see native Python & R support in excel as well. they are aware that better scripting support is needed - they just need to hear it from more ppl to make it a priority. i'll point them at this thread meanwhile.

I read somewhere that VBA is replaced by javascript in office 2016, which comes out this summer.

Oh wow - I would be really interested in more about this!
