Spreadsheets are the best thing in computing since a Lisp REPL. Half of the startups today would be much better (in terms of utility, simplicity and ergonomics) for users and customers if they were served in form of a downloadable Excel sheet.
Almost agree, 'xcept for the "Excel" part, which I would switch against "spreadsheet".
