One word... Excel.

  I'm sure there are some wonderful things Excel does that Sheets doesn't, but since I haven't noticed them they don't bother me. One thing that I don't miss about Excel is the 2^16 row limit. Also I seem to recall some difficulties copying and pasting pivot tables, but it's been a few years...

    Excel has had a 1 million row limit for a while. I haven't tried Sheets in 2 years but it was unpolished even for simple tasks.

      Try it again - it got a major upgrade a while back and it now does everything I ask of it. Including my company's accounts, which have to handle four different currencies and tax reporting regimes. There is a nice python library that allows a script to suck data from our 12 bank accounts daily, do most classification, and update the sheets directly.

  They'll be replaced by people who know Python, r. Excel is powerful, but those spreadsheets are difficult to maintain cheaply. It's like coding without any refactoring tools. The true skill is organization, imho. Power users are replaceable as tech advances.
