Rejecting Excel on proprietary grounds while proposing Google sheets is inconsistent.
?
What should be "inconsistent" with both proposals if they have nothing to do with each other?
I've seen excelsheets, with rudimentary macros, that only provided their functionality under an original ms-excel. (edit:) Not to mention when using different OS.
That's one thing.
Google-sheets is a cloud service, which could be very handy under certain circumstances, and is therefore used by many people when they work together on
the same sheet locally. CSV-format has nothing to do with neccessary access grants, that we need to do that.
One was a hint, the other was a tip. What we can do with it, we are just beginning to see.
