I just hope one day they add regular expressions to Excel.

Perhaps Google Fuchsia[0]?

I hope not.

I agree with you, I often find I like Microsoft's services and subsidiary products (those you listed).

I also use the crap out of Excel.

But he's right Windows is taking a dive. And other Microsoft products. Example number 1: Excel has these cheesy glide animations that do nothing but slow down imports.

I export a report from quickbooks to excel and if it's a large one it almost feels like Excel will crash just from processing so many animations.

I tried turning it off, but it's not as easy as it looks.

I'll add this resource[1] that helped me enormously set up a modern environment for learning with SICP.

I started with mit-scheme but it was horrible for a vim and ipython user. This helps you configure tmux, vim, and racket for sicp.
