Yes and yes. A loom is actually sort of neat. They're the first programable computers. A plow on the other hand is dull and difficult work.

Both are simpler than excel even for their more advanced uses.

I would say yes, the plow is much more simple than excel. However, I disagree that the loom is too. You can do amazing things with a loom if you take the time to learn the complexities of the machine.
