    It feels like a less useful Office 97 variant.

    With modern UI/UX, it’s just clunky and old. Like, Google spreadsheets is works… better. Some things that I do in excel can’t really transfer over that easily (don’t have any examples off the top of my head sorry)

    The PowerPoint variant is the WORST offense though.

    It’s like having to maintain two different skillsets that are 85% similar.

      I don’t remember specific examples but the answer is formulas. Google Sheets lacks a lot of the “advanced” non-math formulas.

      So is it just the UI or the actual functionality? I know the deep deep functionality probably isn’t there but I want to know how deep you have to go.

      You can also change the UI to have the ribbon. It doesn’t do it by default because I think they’re worried about legality.

        Both.

        If I get deep enough, there are excel functions that are missing. On a surface level, UI.

          I have to install it here and there but I don’t have to show people how it works.

      Also the qt theme on wayland lags like hell and is completely unusable. It also didn’t scale well either.
