  Because businesses have been using it for decades, they have old spreadsheets with all kinds of functions and shit that may not easily port over, etc.

  The unfortunate reality.

      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…

  I was using LibreOffice Calc on my work PC with a Threadripper CPU, and somehow it still chugs at times. Scrolling was very laggy at times. I ended up using Google Sheets instead, which is way more responsive for me. If it was for personal use, I’d probably try IronCalc

    How does gnumeric work for you? That’s my spreadsheet goto, but to be fair I have very simple demands.

  I love Libreoffice but the dictionary on there is abysmal. Like fully wretched.

  I’m sure there’s a way to add others but I just haven’t discovered it yet.
