Every large company has sunk countless hours into training people, designing sheets, writing macros etc. Trying to move all that to a different product would be hugely painful and disruptive to everyday operations, because all of that would have to be redone and relearned. No company is going to do that.
Kind of correct but never say never. There should be a point upcoming where an explosive mixture of MS’ software becoming too enshittified to make any more sense to use, and also too expensive to use (MS wants everyone to have a M365 subscription which they can then increase the prices for all the time), as well as competitor’s growing stronger over the years as well, making them a more and more capable alternative, will result in MS Office losing market share and dominance. Windows is also already on a slow decline, it had around ~90% market share during the Win7 era and since then it’s sliding downhill, at about ~70% right now. Sure it takes many years, decades even, but it’s bound to happen with MS’ current course of action as well as the competition growing better as well.
Why is that? Is there just not enough support for exporting existing data across or does Excel have more features?
