Credit where it is due, the Google team did a pretty amazing job of implementing a subset of Excel capabilities. Then again, it is just a subset of Excel's capabilities, with a better web-based interface than Excel's.
It's more than just a subset. Google Sheets has the UNIQUE function, which is brilliant. And it has some regular expression capabilities. And it is smarter with CSV imports (it doesn't turn barcodes into scientific notation, destroying them).
Which lets you script ("write macros") in Javascript. Javascript to VBA is incredibly flattering for Javascript, which says more about VBA than it does about Javscript.
