Excel is the tool of choice for non techies who need "database like" functionality but the word database scares the crap out of them. Large companies wrap multi million dollar businesses around Excel, and I think there will always be a market for an app like this. I only recently began using Office 2010 at my office and feel like this is what office 2003(or if Im feeling generous, 2007) should have been. Outlook is an anachronism as far as Im concerned- even connected to exchange. There are so many modal features about it still that are infuriating, but its getting to an almost gmail usability level. If gmail integrated calendaring as well as outlook I would forward all my work email to a gmail address and never touch outlook. MsWord stil is hands down much better than any free equivalent I have tried, but I only need this app ~5 - 10 times per year. I wish they had an "Office for people who really dont need office that much" version that was on some sort of azure/pay for need basis(where the cost was minimal and paying wasn't) because that is what I need. I dont want to have a few GB of hardly used real estate on my hard disk for when I need to update a resume.
