"Excel as a format is an awful abomination of XML" You and I may think so, but why would it matter for the end user? "and the program itself is an awful experience that people just stick with due to a mix of Stockholm syndrome and inertia" Disagree. For the purpose of what Excel was made for, it seems reasonable. Or rather, I've yet to see what benefits alternative experiences produce. For the vast 90% of users, Excel is a 1NF/2NF db, emphasized on visually viewing their data. It's dead simple to enter, dead simple to share, and reasonable easy to add some constraints, some linkage, and show data trends. |
