Exactly this. I dunno if you have seen old movies where there is a guy at a desk and in front of him is a pad - built into the desk - with large stacked sheets of paper tucked in at the corners to hold them down, A3 size or larger. This was used to just do any quick bit of writing, make a note, do a calculation, sketch something out, whatever. When a page had been sufficiently dooodled on it was just peeled off the top and there was a fresh one underneath ready to go. THAT is the experience Excel replicates. A dedicated, single-function piece of software to do a particular task COMPLETELY misses the point.
