      Perhaps you work for geek squad, or at USPS, or a mill.

      You won’t get it until you’ve been working at big companies that use Excel extensively. Shifting priorities, support people to support the products they’re using, skeleton crew for IT staff, a support lifeline if needed, etc. Or you haven’t met many managers of said orgs…

      It’s not about what’s better. It’s about what’s familiar and what translates well. Pets say a law firm receives an excel file with all kinds of shit done to it (macros and other excel things), and nobody can open it because they all use Excel. And like I t or not, it is presently the dominant product so you are going to run into less issues using it, unfortunately.
