Have you done a cost analysis of what the sum of that "little extra time googling" adds up to? If it's >$10 a month, then youre company is flat-out worse-off. Especially when LibreOffice / Google Sheets just doesn't even come close to the ease of use or power that Excel provides.
It's like giving a brick to a carpenter that has used a hammer for many years. Sure, the brick is okay at smashing nails in, but it flat out can't pull nails out, it creates ugly work, has no "user experience guard-rails", and is less efficient.
- tananaev 4y agoYou're completely ignoring the risks of locking into a proprietary software. It's not guaranteed that it's going to cost $10 a month forever.
- jimmydorry 4y agoTrue, but Office is well and truly entrenched in the business world without much movement in cost since the move to cloud based many years ago. If things changed in the future, you could reevaluate then.
