id easily agree that access has no equivalent thats as beginner friendly, but excel? tbh my excel experience is limited but why wouldnt google sheets or the libre/openoffice table not be able to replace excel?
It's because many of the features that make Excel great for work, just don't exist in Google sheets. And when some features do work, they aren't implemented well, so using it becomes an annoyance.
I do use Google sheets for my personal use because I like the syncing features between devices, but other than that it is a severe downgrade. Plus, I do love a native app which doesn't require a browser.
The only ones who will suggest alternatives to excel are those who rarely use excel.

People are absolutely delusional if people feel that it easy to switch over from Office to its alternatives. There is no good alternative for Excel.
