(rant My training session begins and ends with "Stop using Excel." because Excel sucks. Blaming "the user" because they don't how to use it properly is no excuse for this bloated piece of awful software. I've been using and abusing Excel for decades and there are too many things that are wrong with Excel. Here are three of my major beefs... - cutting/copying and pasting, I think I need to press enter to make that rectangle go away. - sort. Oops, you only sorted the first column, but you didn't notice that, and a week later you notice something isn't quite right with "the data" - so many things from a UI experience that could be dead simple, but feel like advanced gymnastics LibreOffice brings no improvement, it simply duplicates the terrible experience of using Excel. And unfortunately the innovations of spreadsheets from the very very distance past are dead: Visicalc, Lotus 1-2-3, Resolve, Wingz, and many others are long gone. So no I won't stop complaining about Excel. This is a pain point and maybe there is an opportunity to create a killer spreadsheet app / web app that does not require someone to "train" "the user" "how to use it properly", but I am not holding my breath. )
