Not me personally, but the amount of complex workflow that I've seen relying on tortured Excel and VBA is mind-boggling.
In the hands of someone who knows how to use it, Excel is incredibly powerful. Though at some point it crosses the threshold of "why don't you just get a junior developer to code this?". And the answer is always "we are technologically dinosaurs, and we think that any devolopment project costs at least $200k"
