    Microsoft Office suite is obviously superior to its concurrents.

    No, and it never was. There are/were always equal alternatives. It has always been their marketing power that made them (seemingly) win.

      Whoops

      Excel is def the mkt leader for a reason

      I loathe Ms Access but have to admit there is no peer that even comes close.

      Vs code is relatively reliable, cross platform and gets the job done. When there are a lot of people “one way that works for all” is a quality as well.

      That said, I wish open offices were better. Even Apple numbers isn’t a realistic excel alt yet (though it is super decent). And I agree there are plenty of editors that work in many situations.
