I wonder why there's no true modern replacement for Excel that preserves the same versatility and ease of use for nontechnical users.
Every user could just have their own file, in which they could stash records(Or updates to other people's records), and you could have interfaces to view the data that look like a typical spreadsheet.
The data itself could live in an unsorted set of JSON objects with UUIDs, but the UI could be just as easy as Excel, you'd get tables that you could add or remove columns to and from, and put formulas in the fields, and query in some stripped down language with similar power to Excel.
And it could be 100% compatible, you would be free to put your data in the spreadsheet like the old fashioned way, sync with any cloud including SyncThing and no cloud at all, and data files could just be plain CSV you could version.
