Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that 99% of the science/engineering/business world is reliant on Excel. Airplanes are designed in Excel.

I think your estimate of 99% is a wee bit high. At least in the field I'm familiar with, astronomy, the idea of using Excel for any serious computation or design would be met with laughter.
