Not sure why you’re comparing the c++ Excel to the browser version of sheets. It would make more sense to compare the native version of Excel to the native versions of sheets, ie. android iOS and chromeOS, and the browser sheets to the browser excel.
- adrianmonk 2y agoBecause they're replying to someone who wondered about the performance "compared to Native Microsoft Excel". I'll add that browser Google Sheets and native Microsoft Excel are the fastest versions available (of each product).
- tomComb 2y agoWhy do you suggest that the web version of sheets is faster than the swift or Java versions? I haven’t tried them, and certainly haven’t benchmarked them, but I would imagine they’re faster.
- ehsankia 2y agoI don't think there is a native desktop version of sheets? On ChromeOS, it's running the web version. But yes I'd be curious to see how the web version of Excel does it.
- tomComb 2y agoThere is a version of sheets in both App Stores and I believe you can run the android version on chrome OS
- panzi 2y agoAre these versions reimplemtations or like so many other apps just packaged websites? And are they full featured?
- ehsankia 2y agoAFAIK the mobile versions are different, since the whole UX is designed for touch control and small screens. It's not full featured, there's a bunch of stuff that you can't do, or are very hard to reach, but that's the limitation of mobile control. While you technically can run it on ChromeOS through the Android emulation, it's still a mobile app and you're far better off running the web version.
