Does if have FILTER, array formulas, spill zones, MAP, data tables, query engines, SQL engine etc etc?
To compete with Word: Easy. To compete with Excel: Very, very difficult (pretty much only Google Sheets have managed).
90% of users probably just need a glorified table with SUM
In a personal context, agreed. In a business context, I completely disagree. Analysts, finance, operations etc all have much more complex requirements.
Of course. But you have to start somewhere.
Point taken. Thank you for the reminder. I was probably being harsh. Appreciate the feedback.
It’s not competing with word, it’s competing with Google Sheets.
Google Sheets is competing with Excel. Proton Sheets is competing with Google Sheets. So Proton Sheets is competing with Excel.
I used Word as a comparative example to say that parts of the office/docs suite are easy to compete with (there’s only so may things a word processor can do), while others (like Google Sheets or Excel, whichever order you prefer) is incredibly difficult to compete with; a formatting error on import of a Word doc is acceptable. An unsupported formula ruins the entire thing.
They should have forked Onlyoffice, however I appreciate the effort to make their own from scratch.
