Why would I want this over Excel?
- shishy 6y agoMaybe for users who don't pay for Office / Excel (This seems like a free alternative in this regard?)
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoLibre office has pivot tables although when I used them last, and that was a while ago, they weren't anywhere near as slick to use as excel's.
- kreetx 6y agoMy question exactly. Looking at the screenshot: perhaps it's quicker to use if your use-case matches-or-is-simpler of what the program can do.
- socialdemocrat 6y agoBetter for programmers. We typically prefer working with csv files rather than Excel files. Most of our processing would be in code anyway so the extra features of Excel is just in the way. I have actually personally never understood the point of Excel. Writing code in Excel is just more hassle than real code anyway IMHO.

At least in my case, I looked at this app before because I needed to look at a lot of CSV files. Numbers (Excel equivalent on macOS) takes a longer time to open, and it's really bloated if you're just looking at a table
