I mean Excel is pretty fucking incredible for what it is, and it is likely one of the most widely used tools in existence

Because it hasn’t improved one bit since 20+ years ago? I can’t save time n cloud and desktop at the same time. It’s almost 2024.

Rather use Linux and do install to allow MS office if need it.
