As a long-time finance developer, I can attest to this. I think the only company that will be able to kill Excel's dominance in finance is Microsoft, and sometimes I think that they're trying. It seems the past few releases (basically 2013 on) have alienated a lot of power users by needlessly shuffling the menus/toolbars, adding lots of graphics that slow down sheets and add nothing for people who already know how to use the app, and not keeping a laser eye on memory consumption/performance issues.
