What features are lacking specifically that LibreOffice, Google Sheets, or some other cross-platform solution doesn't have?

Do you have any performance benchmarking to show the difference between Excel and LibreOffice Calc, because my experience LibreOffice is much better on resources. I would like to see what tests you are using so that I can run them myself.

Keyboard shortcuts are huge. Also I’m used to the ribbon which I don’t think they copied yet

The ribbon has a software patent, if I remember correctly. Although it's a UI element, so I'm not sure if it's enforceable?

I am thankful that the ribbon UI is patented, it prevents that terrible experience getting more widely implemented

That’s really unnecessary.

I don’t have any of the alternatives available to me right now but if you’re honestly curious I could take another look this weekend and see if every widely used function has a shortcut. But from what I remember many don’t. I would love to see a plugin that maps excel shortcuts to either libre office or open office

What an, awful, terrible sentiment. "The only reason someone could ever disagree with me is they are a paid shill".

Good products are not just a collection of features.
