QueryStorm: optimizing the way we abuse Excel!:) Well, jokes aside, C# and .NET are a better tool, so at least its easier to make a good solution in Excel. I think Excel is an excellent platform for developer tools. E.g. if you're making a small application or a prototype, you just write code in C# and you have Excel to take care of data storage, data visualization and user input. With formulas and graphs you also get data-binding for free from Excel. Spend 1% of the time for 30% of the functionality you'd need from a proper app.
