I use Calc, and it does just fine for my use case. But I know people in finance whose work relies on the powerful advanced features excel has and LO just doesn’t yet. Funny enough, I haven’t touched a word processor or slide deck program in years.

    But python is more of a first class citizen in libreCalc. You can use Numpy, Pandas, matplotlib, etc… In both excel and librecalc since recently and excel has a hacky runtime inside of it that often has to be restarted if leaving it idle for too long. You can do 10x what you can do in excel + VBS with python packages. Dataframes alone for data analysis is night and day compared to VBS hacks.
