There are some cases like accounting departments that may definitely need the extra features from Excel. I guess I weigh the collaboration features Google provides over the extra features Excel provides. Google is still playing catch-up with Excel and probably always will be But Microsoft is a decade behind Google in basic mail management.

You don't even have to get that fancy in Excel before Google can't keep up. But there's an even more basic problem - trading documents with Excel users. Trying to round-trip anything more than a simple data-only Excel doc through Google Docs is folly, especially if you keep passing a document back and forth. In case it wasn't obvious, I have to use both. I have multiple external vendors where emailing Excel docs back and forth is how you do business. Internally, we're Google Docs, except where we're not, mainly anything that touches Finance or Legal. But the Windows IT folks also use a lot of Excel. And, you get the idea. In conclusion, the idea that anyone has a "solution" that is supposed to actually solve "sharing" is hilarious.
