Data analyst here. What's your beef with excel?
Some people hate it just because they want to feel superior. They want FOSS but there is no FOSS that comes close to excel.
You could say it Excels
At nothing
I'm also a data analyst, so I sense sarcasm, but in case you're not:
A big beef is excel can't handle decimals larger than 6 places iirc. So if you copy/paste, it will delete your data accuracy. Is that not fucking insane? I mean think about that for a second... The most popular data table in the world will delete your data.
There's a whole laundry list of other things I can complain about, but the bottom line is they bought it from another company, then stopped working on it. It's Microsoft's entire business model: Buy it, charge for it, ignore it.
