Stop Using Excel, Finance Chiefs Tell Staffs

Honestly the article stinks like an advertorial of cloud vendors trying to push their wares. I agree that Excel isn't a good fit for many things, but blanket rules like 'no excel' seem counterproductive.

Why do we readers take these sorts of things at face value? You know the whole article is a sales pitch.

I suppose you either understand how PR works and simply disregard anything printed or broadcast and do your own research, and accept this system unlikely to change...

Or you get irritated by it, while waiting for the "inevitable" collapse of this promotional/propaganda model...

Honestly I don't know what is happening, but it seemed like the first option, which I've followed for a couple of decades is a good enough cure for disillusionment and depression. (Caused by investing in the second option)

Edit: add quotes to inevitable.
