Excel was feature complete in the 90s. Everything added since has made it worse. I have 12 cores and it takes as long as it did to merely startup as in 1995.

The improved table naming and array functions seem pretty important. The flash full feature also seems quite useful.

You never learned to use the features added since 1995. That’s the problem.

Launching Excel 2010 is bliss compared to all newer versions. But lambda and let can be magical.

And Alt-Q to find Excel features is kinda good. There's usually a short annoying delay while Excel activates the feature. And once it returns results, it never places the keyboard focus on the first result, so you always have to down-arrow instead of just pressing enter to accept the first result.
