Yes. I use Excel every day and while there are some serious cons (like a large data sets eating up tons of memory, crashing as a result, etc.) it is still an extraordinarily powerful tool. It is also extremely intuitive for the basic user and insanely powerful for the super user who really knows how to take advantage of the more advanced features. And with VBA integrated, it gets even more powerful. I've seen some pretty amazing sheets/templates put together in a few days that would take programmers weeks or months to put together. And since you don't have to know how to program at all to use it, it's easy to see why it remains around.
