    I think the most infuriating part about web Excel and desktop Excel is that they don’t have feature parity.

    There’s stuff that works on desktop but not web and it’s really frustrating.

      Don’t you know? Some calculations can only be done locally. They are too complicated to be performed over the cloud. It needs to be done on your i3/4GB RAM PC.

        I know your comment was in jest but the backend of these apps runs on cloud, the frontend is still using your local resources and is usually a bloated piece of poop to boot.

          Electron: I am in this comment and I do not like it.

          Jokes aside, MS Office now auto-generates clipart and various other assets via GenAI which obviously is via cloud. They can do feature parity if they want to. But often with MS products, their products use so much legacy libraries, it’s a huge pain for the devs to find their corresponding web-libraries.

          I’m pretty sure Office still uses a random API which uses ie6.
