    Excel tables.

    No Linux/OSS app can do this (and will likely never). Open Office devs have outright declared they won’t.

    Or the automated process that export/import data via excel.

    Let’s see you rebuild all those things, without man hours or errors. Costly errors.

    Whenever someone gets on a “just switch” campaign (whether it’s something like Linux or Metric), I know they’ve never had to work on a migration project and seen the challenges, difficulties, and risk.

    I use Linux for servers, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend time converting my workstation - there’s zero value in it for me when I have decades of tools and process. The value proposition just isn’t there.

    Don’t go taking down a fence until you fully understand what it’s for.

      Can the web version of Excel do tables? I know that it’s a lesser version of the desktop app, but if tables was the most advanced feature you need, that could be an option.
