As someone who has been in IT support for twenty years. The fact that people aren't slaughtering Microsoft executives for how terrible a product excel is... it's wild to me.
Every accountant uses excel and every single one of them have called us in IT support to demand we restore 2-18 hours of work only to find out we can't restore it because Microsoft excel (and MS word) are two of the single most broken terrible pieces of shit software.
I'm basically a person who has to tell people the hours of work they did is lost because Microsoft are incompetent
I'm tired boss..
Apple lovers, your crap is lost because Apple are so locked down... Well you think it's locked down, Apple products are actually easier to crack it just takes 5 minutes more.
Microsoft software has big compatibility issuess on Windows.
Hahaha for sure
Yeah, Excel has its issues, but if someone works on a document for 18 hours without hitting the save button, that's on them. I have Excel defaulting to have auto-save turned on and it has greatly reduced the amount of times I have to tell people their data is gone. Of course, there are people who turn it off because they don't like it. But they know that if Excel crashes on them and they lose their work, I can't do anything about it.
Meanwhile I have issues with Excel because I'll have 2 spreadsheets open, then Office auto updates overnight so when I log in the next morning I open it back up and have like 7 "saved states" I need to select through
Or people who can't turn it on because they don't want to store their data on Microsoft's computer and MS is a very hostile salesman.
