      It does. It’s fine as a replacement for Word, but no one has an answer for Excel. LibreOffice Calc is fine for a basic spreadsheet, but Excel is in a completely different universe than Calc with anything beyond that.

      To be fair though, Excel is in a completely different universe than literally any other competing product.

        I think calc is fine for a lot of use cases. I use it all the time. It is different though.

        For advanced stuff I’d rather use Python anyway to be honest.

        Do you know how both of those compare with Google Sheets?

          Sheets is capable enough for the average person but a business is always going to want to use Excel because it’s the industry standard.

          I can’t remember the last time I actually needed a spreadsheet for anything other than looking at a bunch of tabular data, but I’m a programmer so I’m not the standard spreadsheet user.

              Probably a database.

              JSON files that get committed to a git repo, obviously. They’re in a private repository in GitHub so that takes care of security and resiliency, two birds with one stone.

                At first I was certain this was going to be sarcasm.

          Nothing compares to excel. There are spreadsheets, and there is excel. The world runs on excel, and for a damn good reason. Also, excel runs the world, literally.

      It wouldn’t be as good as everyone says if it didn’t.

      Yes, and recent versions of MS Word can also read odt, so no need for docx just to work with Word users.
