> I mean, Google Sheets is nice for many things, but to even try to replace Excel it needs to increase functionality tenfold - even LibreOffice isn't really there yet after all these years.

Excel is a moving target. Nothing is ever going to "replace" Excel by simply chasing after it and trying to do everything Excel does in the way most comfortable to existing Excel users. Anything that's going to succeed as an Excel replacement will do enough of what Excel does in a way convenient to existing users and offer some compelling features that Excel doesn't have.

And there are always going to be people complaining about any replacement not mimicking some feature in the way they'd most prefer; even after a replacement succeeds -- it happened with WordPerfect users complaining about Word long after Word displaced WordPerfect and acheived dominance.
