Hearing that Scott abandoned POI for building spreadsheets makes me
wonder if he figured that there was an easier way or what.

Not necessarily easier, but definitely much, much better performing.
If I understand correctly, his latest work with Excel entails doing
everything with RPG (not calling Java at all).

As such, he's had to build it largely from scratch. I would imagine
it was harder to build pure RPG Excel file handling logic than to wrap
Java calls with RPG. But once built, I'm sure it was/is as easy or
easier to use than his POI wrappers.
