Disagree. I'm a spreadsheet-fan and Numbers (mac version of Excel) is waaay better than Google Doc's spreadsheet. In fact, Numbers rivals Excel in many ways. For those who haven't used it, Numbers is more of a container that holds all kinds of objects, like media files, text fields, and including spreadsheets. This model, I've found, is way more effective at communicating concepts that require textual descriptions alongside small blocks of spreadsheets.
- glennericksen 13y ago> Numbers rivals Excel in many ways The only use case Numbers performs well is as spreadsheet presentation software with the ability to edit. If you need to work with a lot of data or crunch a lot of numbers, it's not even close. Excel wins.
- rkv 13y agoAgreed. Google apps are no where near Microsoft's suite in terms of maturity and capability - not just Excel. This article assumes that Google apps was once at a point on-par with Microsoft office when it never was.
