Reading these comments, I think I might be a dinosaur, but Excel (native, Windows) has a really good keybindings UI (you press Alt, and all the key choices light up), and the ability to record actions as macros and then inspect the code is absolutely gold for automation. I know VBA is profoundly uncool and all that, but boy, if there was a better native IDE inside Excel with Copilot helping me along, I would be throwing money at Microsoft right now.
- cmgbhm 2y agoThere’s a lot of finish in the Microsoft products. Views are so much faster to pick settings in Excel. You can format tables and indent them (nested ledger) You can get higher information density. It’s always amazing to me to wade through “how to x” in Google and see 100s of people asking for years. Google docs and numbered headings is one of those.
