Spreadsheet "breaks" Apple Vision Pro eye-tracking

You aren't part of the Excel gang so you don't get it. There is a level of Excel user that is in fact a special type of human. Quant traders and accountants for example. They are very hot key dependent and the speed at which they do things in Excel is superhuman and would make you rethink SQL queries. You try to take their Excel from them and there would nothing less than a revolt.

As someone who was in finance before moving to tech, there are still many days I believe Excel is the best IDE I've ever used

I am a programmer - I'm not in the Excel gang.

But the way you casually dropped the term "spaghetti columns" literally sent a shiver up my spine.

Likewise, I spend years in it for a day job and I never used a mouse.

I love excel but this is some seriously delusional stuff.

Tech culture is the absolute worst. Everyone wants to pretend they are splitting the atom even when they are just using excel.

You aren't at the level where you can split an atom in Excel yet? Pfft, you'll get there one day. Keep at it.

Yeah I have heard the legends and even met one person once. I do not think that one needs to be in the excel gang, though, to be disturbed by such interference patterns while looking at a spreadsheet in VisionPro.
