> From a coder perspective I've only seen excel workbooks that are bad or terrifying. I think this might be a type of bias: The Excel sheets I usually look at as a programmer are from customers who want me to write an application for them. Typically because the conventional means (Excel sheets, directory structures, emails etc.) become unmaintainable. So we end up seeing the stuff that is bad for w/e reason. Often a combination of complexity, inconsistency, usability and sheer mass.
