Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years

Does liber office make .docx files and export to pdf?

It does. It’s fine as a replacement for Word, but no one has an answer for Excel. LibreOffice Calc is fine for a basic spreadsheet, but Excel is in a completely different universe than it.

To be fair though, Excel is in a completely different universe than literally any other competing product.

I think calc is fine for a lot of use cases. I use it all the time. It is different though.

For advanced stuff I’d rather use Python anyway to be honest.

  Excel has built-in Python support now. I wish I was joking.

  Nothing compares to excel. There are spreadsheets, and there is excel. The world runs on excel, and for a damn good reason. Also, excel runs the world, literally.

Just use SQL. Even SQLite.
