I agree. Notion is a lot easier to get started on. I also should mention that Notion/Airtable vs. Excel are somewhat different types of swissarmy knives to be used in different environments. One is used in the battlefield and space exploration, the other one in a children's playground. Jokes aside, Notion has some nice features like Wiki and it wears too many hats like a joker in a circus. I love the fact that I can write a recipe with tables and markdown -> publish it to the internet to be consumed. Can't do that with Excel.
