San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

I agree for the most part, but Excel is just so good.

They say “Excel excels at excel”.

I prefer Google Sheets over Excel but cannot tell you why.

Is it the UI? We use Google sheets at my work and I hate it. Missing formulas & formatting options that I like.

It works fine if you do the basics, but its not as full featured as I want it.

Really? My Google Sheets has so many formulas and conditional formatting. There's so much I can't do in Excel that I can do in Sheets :/

Also, adding checkboxes in Excel is a pain lol. They made it so difficult.

I don't use excel other than as a glorified calculator. I don't use word as well. My department knows and I am pretty open when I do interviews. If the job requires to open more than 1 file Excel every 2 months, I am out. If I need to open a single excel sheet with VBA, they wasted my time.

Excel is fine, is what people do with excel that is not fine

What do you use for spreadsheets, libreoffice? I could see not liking a specific program but I love a spreadsheet and use them constantly. I use libre for ideological reasons but don't find it as convenient for certain tasks as excel or google sheets.

Python/pandas, R or a real database depending on the task.

I don't dislike excel. I dislike what people do with excel. And I dislike vba
