I think it might have been a Joel on Software story that talked about how when they did a review of what people actually used Excel for they found that a ridiculous number never went beyond "making lists of things". By that measure, I bet that Google Sheets is likely overpowered compared to most people's use. I try to keep this in mind when I see things like AirTable (and their recent big funding raise) - because it looks so "listy" and like something people would actually use [1]. Maybe the real differentiator is the ability to easily put checkboxes and pics in a row and much less dependent upon having advanced statistical functions, pivot tables, etc. 1 - https://youtu.be/r0lsyTaAuJE https://youtu.be/r0lsyTaAuJE
