    It’s not 100% of it, but it’s a large portion.

    Excel isn’t replaced because your company already bought it. There are many alternatives to Excel and most of them are acceptable to the overwhelming majority of people who use Excel (people using it for tables and basic graphs) and none of them have displaced Excel.

    I mean look at Word. It absolutely sucks and yet it’s standard anyway. Same with Outlook.

        I wasn’t saying that’s all it is. I was and am saying that that’s why and how a large portion of people use it.

        There is a lot of usefulness in simple data structures with a GUI over top. That’s why the data structures were invented in the first place. People–especially in software product management–are insistent that the complicated features are what keep people using software, even when it’s obviously untrue.
