Excel is still widely used across a lot of enterprises. While it shouldn’t serve as the database for a good size company, it absolutely has uses and I think the most important thing is that non-technical stakeholders are comfortable with it.

While I think some of us groan (I’ve made my share of jokes) about “Exporting to Excel” it’s actually still a very good tool and useful for many cases.
