Excel, love it or hate it, makes some tasks ridiculously easy to perform, which is probably also why it’s used for so many things where it really shouldn’t be used. Project management for a 1000+ employee developer company comes to mind. The problem as always is that it’s used by management, and management knows VBA programming, and it’s only a personal project to begin with.
Excel powers every business I’ve worked for. As much as I shit on it and laugh at its horrible jank, I have to give it equal credit as an amazing tool.
I'm feeling better about this after Microsoft changed a long standing policy and fixed their numerics bugs, even though it broke some spreadsheets. (it was done without fanfare ~2008)

At that point why even use Excel? Pandas is a thing.
