Excel and similar tools are never going to go away. It's just got too much utility for that. The best thing we can do is provide spreadsheet users with the same quality of tools as we ourselves are used to.

I know a startup in the Netherlands working on just that, and it's a golden business opportunity with a large untapped market!
