Spreadsheets are powerful, but often abused. They are great for economics but horrible for logic.

Most medium to large complex spreadsheets are better implemented in a high level programming language.

Spreadsheets seem useful for people that are scared of programming syntax but quickly become so much less maintainable and janky that I believe its almost always easier to just start with learning to program already.

Especially excel is 100% jank.
