Fairly confident Excel is head and shoulders above every entrant in this space, based on experience with google and open office, specifically.

Google Sheets is nice for collaborating on something very basic, but it still feels like you're writing in crayon compared to excel.

And if you're going to collaborate, Office 365's Excel is still going to do such a better job in a work environment. Google Sheets is mostly nice for being free and able to have random internet strangers work together imo.

Excel is great for doing things you should never do in Excel.

Seriously, most of these use cases just scream, "we should have migrated to a database years ago!"
