are you kidding?
It is easy to perform calculations involving millions of numbers in org-mode (e.g., using numpy) that I wouldn't even try in Excel (is there a limit of 16k columns?)
- emj 7y agoThanks for bringing that up, I'm not talking about calculation, it's text output that is formated to be visible on screen (i.e. terminal), and Emacs shell has historically had a really crappy latency when displaying lots of data. Excel oftens out preforms custom Notebooks for data that fits its scope. Which is why Excel is used so much, it feels very when working with somethings meaning it gets used in areas where it should not be. This musing to me is not about which tool is the best but what UI feels good to use, even though it CLI based.
