      Excel is the one I don’t hate, all alternatives suck way more. Active Directory is also ok, but you have to click more than in a moba game, it can become annoying.

        Excel definitely has its flaws though. For example, in science, it will mangle your data in its attempts to be helpful by reformatting the file if you so much as open it.

        The genomics committee had to change their naming scheme for some genes because excel kept converting them into dates (for example, you had a MAR-10 gene, it’d be converted into a timestamp or 3/10) and destroying the names, even if the file wasn’t saved.

        Eh, I legitimately like Google Sheets more than Excel. Yeah, it doesn’t have all the features, but it has a lot of features, way more than I actually need. My main issue is that it’s run by Google, so I’m looking for alternatives (trying to switch to LibreOffice Calc, which is painful).
