A year ago I graduated and started working in the corporate world. Damn Windows and MS Office all around. I realize now, that at university I was living in a bubble of nice, free software. And if you had a problem you programmed your way out of it. Now I use Excel all the time.
Good thing I have side projects.
- shmerl 14y agoIt really depends on the corporate world. Some uses free software as well.
- cema 14y agoI think the point of the parent comment was not about software being free but by being able, quote, "to program[...] your way out of it". Which I think is an important argument for or against Excel (or many other programs) depending on whether we talk about programming users or non-programming users.
- shmerl 14y agoRight. But probably I was just lucky enough never to encounter such kind of corporate world which uses Excel (or any other spread sheet software for that matter) in such weird fashion.
