I grew up in Asia and currently living in US. I had never thought of it that way, so I will need more time to connect the dots with this particular view point.
Not integrated in vim, but try visidata (https://github.com/saulpw/visidata) on Sqlite. I tried after HN post last weekend and it was amazing... with Vim-like keys and interface.

I don't work in tech industry but from my experience it's a lot simpler than that. Most of these day-to-day desk workers know nothing but excel because that's all they know from home and work.

I don't know anything about control room but I'm generally interested in building information-dense dashboards. Was your electronic music example supposed to show a good example of a display that is developed-based-on-user-feedback?
Let me add a bit more irony here: github is blocked from my work(USAF) so I can't get to code.mil. All I want to do is be the workaholic that I am and DoD makes it literally impossible for me to do that. You have no idea how much bureaucracy can defeat the spirit of an employee. Most of my friends are leaving the AF for reasons like this. I'll do my best during my time here, but needless to say, I'm out.
