@@HouseOfFunQM Not even in the slightest. Spreadsheeting is was a way of recording values. Lotus 123 was the final iteration of text based spreadsheets. The future was to use a GUI to make the process easier and pack more functionality in without making it harder to drive. At the same time every other app would would the same way. Lotus Developments Corp. did not think this was the way to go and thus failed miserably to predict the future. They had personal briefings and very private briefings from both Apple and Microsoft. They purchased many SDK’s to develop GUI products and could have been a competitor. But as I said earlier, they didn’t think Windows or Apple had a future.

I remember when I started teaching Excel at an adult school in California. I had several students who were stuck on Lotus 1-2-3 and didn't want to change. They thought Lotus for DOS was the best and didn't want to change until I gave them an overhead projector lesson with Excel. My presentation took about 10 minutes and they were hooked! They said what the other two guys said. Lotus doesn't do that! LOL! ALL of my students went to the office and switched to Excel and were so excited on how fast and easy it was. I still teach Microsoft Excel online now and the university where I now teach is upgrading to the 2021 version. It's great for me to get to learn new things with Excel too, as it upgrades and changes! I actually post this video in my announcements every new semester for my students to view now so that they can see how great Excel is.

Part of me agrees because there's a lot of similar stories in computing, Excel is basically a relational database which is another idea that stuck around for a really long time. Part of me also thinks we might just be locked into trying to be backwards compatible with the tech and with what people expect. I think of all the cool user interface designs from the 90s and how standardized everything is now - I'm not sure if we're really approaching an overall peak as much as some local maximum

I love Excel. Over 20 yrs ago I once created a payroll accounting on Excel for close to 50 employees, pivot table, consolidated sheet, controlling...you name it. The company I created it for had a nutty payroll system with tons of benefit and deduction positions so that a top professional accounting software had trouble to include them as I found out when I inquired with a software firm so this ev. gave me the idea to try to create a system in Excel in the first place. All pay slips came from Excel, social security statements at the end of year plus I could export data to fill out withholding tax forms. I still had to book the consolidated numbers manually in a dirt cheap very flexible accounting software but that was not much of work. I later gave it to 2 smaller company founders who had planed to buy some standard payroll accounting software for 3-4k (plus they yearly contract fees for upgrades, support & other nonsense they sell you) and they were enthusiastic after using it a few months. You can do so much complex stuff with Excel, it never ceased to amaze me!

I was getting better by leaps and bounds with Excel, building simple databases, digging under the hood of our company's midrange computer, and just having a hell of a good time overall. It was an exciting time of discovery when the industry was still relatively new and possibilities seemed endless. Then I got moved into system support and it all went to hell. 🙂

Ford Motor Company rented that building for their budgeting process. All the room contained blackboards. Each board represented a sheet with numbers. If a number changed, accountants would go from board to board, room to room, floor to floor to reflect the respective changes. The building was a spreadsheet! We have come a long way indeed.

I'm a trained engineer and teach courses as a side gig. Excel has been my go-to tool through engineering school, through my masters... through all my jobs. It's helped me plan family finances, run a business. It's had as profound an impact on my life as the automobile, internet and the smart phone yet Excel is not nearly as heralded.
