Excel is an excellent hammer. A spreadsheet is a system to develop pure functional graphs and to interact with them in real time. I spent lots of time on finance spreadsheets myself and also thought it was Stockholm syndrome, but when I transitioned to working on software I came to see exactly why spreadsheets are entrenched the way they are, enjoy seeing them used creatively, and would never wish bespoke software on finance people. And good for them, they seem to know better, themselves!
