Nothing capability-wise! Just speed and ease of manipulation.
Maybe an analogy is doing image processing. One could write filters and other manipulations in code, or use something like Photoshop. It turns out Photoshop is a great interface for many of those tasks. I think the same thing is true for more data analysis than I'd realized because of my poor Excel skills.
Still want to improve my spreadsheet abilities though. There's a fun video called You Suck at Excel by Joel Spolsky I'm halfway through [1]. Would love to know of more like this.
