Whether Excel should or shouldn't be used in any given instance is a different question - but it's hard to deny that Excel is a powerful piece of software used in many industries for a wide variety of tasks.
Can you name another spreadsheet/calculator that does a better job?

I honestly can't. It's definitely the world's best spreadsheet program. It's a weird niche to excel in (hurrr), but they fucking nailed it dude.

Spreadsheets are the best thing ever.
I would love to have a text mode spreadsheet for linux/unix. Maybe written in perl for compatibility.

DESU we will likely get Microsoft Business Suite for Linux soon at the rate they've been porting stuff to Linux. Excel and Word on Linux would make me very happy :D

Engineers who exclusively use Excel should be shot. Fuck your stupid VBA macros

Virtually every small mom-and-pop business I've worked for has literally all of their business logic written in Excel. They use Excel to calculate taxes, employee payments, etc. It's incredible how versatile it is, but I guess it makes sense when you realize that Excel isn't just a spreadsheet. It's an easy to understand GUI and programming language for manipulating complex datasets. Libreoffice calc/etc. don't seem to "get" that, and they just make a regular spreadsheet as a competitor.

It's irreplaceable alongside OneNote
