A decade ago is a long time in tech. Which to be blunt: Should never color your opinions about technology today. Sheets was really neat a decade ago, but is just basic competency today.

I'm reminded of this 7 year old talk (You Suck at Excel with Joel Spolsky) where he goes over a bunch of great Excel features that still aren't in Google Sheets today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c
