three reasons:

  1. power query
  2. keyboard shortcuts
  3. pioneer for new functions (e.g., xlookup, dot-colon, let, etc)

oh, and excel doesn't crash like a boeing at annoyingly frequent random intervals.

Libre office is significantly more stable for me than office365 on a win11 machine running on hardware from 2023. It just always works and quickly.

Of course not, we're talking about Enterprise here. Newer versions of Excel won't run on Windows XP.
