    It’s not even a good analytics tool. If you submit an academic paper with excel plots in it, I’ll reject that shit without reading it and type “lmaoooooooo…” To the review character limit.

    My 12 year old child knows how to use matplotlib and he thinks Santa can fit down a chimney.

        It depends on the scale. I’ll agree that excel is a great tool for household finances.
