I could bash it in ways you probably haven't heard before...

The clashing paradigms of the Data Model and "vanilla" Excel have really been aggravating me recently.

I feel like Excel is underutilized for cultural reasons and it seems like it can do anything I was previously asked to use Qlikview for.

But the fundamental reason I am using Excel these days is because I don't want to be subjected to a programming interview, ever again.

I got my current job without any particular technical requirements, and the interview was entirely about how I manage my time and multitask.
