Since PowerPoint was proven to be Turing complete my bet is on it and not Excel being the most commonly used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNjxe8ShM-8

PowerPoint, while popular, has no where near the widespread use of Excel. In most businesses, PowerPoint is the sort of thing you use once a month, once a week maybe if you are doing a lot of meetings. Excel gets used daily or even hourly by members of almost every department in businesses large and small.

I would agree with OP that Excel is the most-used programming environment of all time
