I think you vastly underestimate the number of businesses critical processes in huge international companies that uses Microsoft Excel.

  I work with a lot of these 'business critical processes' done in Excel. Too often that information is squirrelled away on some 'business critical spreadsheet' and not shared properly in the organisation. There was also a time when typing pools were totally essential, we don't defend typing pools and insist on having them now though.

    I'm not saying it's ideal, just that it won't go away. Excel gives a lot of 'compute power' to non-developers. Nothing else is as good and flexible for so called 'end users'.

    As kpil points out, Excel enables end users to develop their own solutions. What kind of business critical processes are you finding Theodores?
