      As someone who used to work with “large” (to normal people; 10k-60k rows up to maybe 70 columns) datasets in Excel exclusively, I also hate Excel.

        Me too!

        I hate working with other people’s spreadsheets.

        Or my old spreadsheets.

        The worst is “can you just add a small feature” to a huge, sprawling, mission-critical, often reused spreadsheet.

        But I love how quick and powerful it is to spin up a new spreadsheet to analyze something or clean up messy data!

        Wait you mean your organization doesn’t use some ludicrously expensive hosted database solution or 3 to aggregate data then instead of natively working with the data in that database it gets exported and transformed on a local machine which may or may not havd backups then ask the database people about weird data quirks coming from the local transformations performed on the data
