Is this because of compatibility and VBA macros?
In a vacuum, what Excel does is straightforward, and there's lots of free alternatives. Don't get me wrong -- I think it's a great program, but I don't see anything unique about it.

- ogogmad 4y agoWhy? I occasionally use them* for taxes and whatnot, and they pretty much work identically. The differences seem at best marginal. * - LO Calc and MS Excel.
- artificial 4y agoSimilar to how databases are nearly identical superficially. Once you have a non trivial coupling the inertia kicks in. That said, depending on your use case (light usage minimial complex multi sheet macros) the differences are indeed minor.
- omginternets 4y agoAn example would be helpful.
