I've used it for very simple things but I don't thing it even has 1% of the installed Excel program does. It is too simple and buggy.

Few days ago wife opened an excel file on the browser and something was right away wrong, she noticed, can't remember what it was. Had to download and execute local.

I wouldn’t call it simple. It does have Python scripting. Obviously not the functionality she needed, but that’s fairly advanced in the Excel world.

And that’s the issue with every alternative, it lacks 1:1 features/bugs so what’s usable for one isn’t for another.
