SummaryA between-subjects observational study (N=40) comparing data cleaning tasks across Jupyter, Excel, ChatGPT, and OpenRefine, using the Technical Dimensions of Programming Systems framework. Results show tool affordances steer user strategies without determining outcomes, with a core trade-off between data-centered and abstraction-centered interfaces.
Why it mattersSystematically maps how four interface paradigms shape data work using a shared framework, making the trade-offs between opportunistic and systematic cleaning legible for tool selection.
