I miss many things about the Excel interface in early every web app:

- editing many records as a table

- formulae for calculating values

- ability to paste from other tables or Excel sheets

- information density!

- arbitrary sort and filter

- hiding and rearranging columns

- etc…

Every app with search, including search engines themselves, and most with data entry should have an Excel-like, table based interface. GitHub discovered this (just look at their new projects) and most data focused apps are no exception either. Terminal utilities, Python scripting, and JSON are sometimes as good or better, but more often a poor second place.
