while this is impressive technically I also get the feeling that we are back in 1982. Spreadsheets are great general purpose tools and useful for financial modeling.

Yes you can lock cells and columns, but this is a sticking plaster. Anyway I'm probably biased in this area as I'm working on a https://addmaple.com https://addmaple.com where we are attempting a very different UX for working with tabular data.
