Tell that to Excel.

• TeMPOraL 7y ago
  Excel is great because it has every feature under the sun, is extensible and interoperable. There's little problem with getting any data into or out from it. That's why it became a crucial part of so many workflows, and in so doing, quite possibly delivered more value to end-users than any other application ever. Excel is a great product, and the opposite of greedy, entitled software design. (Joe Spolsky wrote about it in the past; lack of vendor lock-in was crucial for it winning the market in the early days.)
