They're using a spreadsheet and getting burned when it acts like a spreadsheet. It's like complaining that a screwdriver did a bad job hammering nails.

Yeah, that's my point. Excel is almost never the right tool, but since it's doing so much, it can be used for almost anything, just in a very shitty manner. And in reality, it is used for almost anything.
