This is the old argument about replacing Excel. No one uses all the features offered by Excel, but every feature offered is used by someone.

And a nice illustration for why startups often do well focusing on very specific use cases first.

Replacing Excel for the general population is a moon-shot project; replacing it for a well selected set of use cases hard but, as history showed, possible.

Not only that, often the when Excel users are asked what features they desire, the desired feature is already in Excel.
