<h1>Comparison of Spreadsheet Programs</h1>
<p>Microsoft Excel is the king of spreadsheet programs. It is ubiquitous in many office jobs and 99% of finance or accounting departments are completely dependent on it.</p> <a href="https://xkcd.com/2347/" target="_blank"><img src="pics/logos/excel/excel-xkcd.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; max-height: 250 px;"/></a>
<p>Personally, I use it daily in my job and have become quite fond of it; Excel now is my <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_instrument" target="_blank">golden hammer</a>, a tool that I like to use for any task it might be remotely suitable for. I run Linux on my private computer and the lack of Excel has been annoying: complex Excel files won't calculate or display correctly in alternative apps and I don't like to re-learn the workflows and keyboard shortcuts (only noobs use the mouse). While it is kind of possible to <a href="https://gist.github.com/eylenburg/38e5da371b7fedc0662198efc66be57b" target="_blank">run Excel in Linux</a> it is not straight-forward most people recommend alternatives like LibreOffice or OnlyOffice instead. So I set out to compare these in detail, with the overall question: <strong>"Can this program replace Excel? Do we actually <em>need</em> Excel on Linux?"</strong><br /><br />
I had a closer look at these applications:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Microsoft Office/Excel</span>, the defining spreadsheet program that powers the world, even though it shouldn't</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">LibreOffice</span>, the most popular free and open source (FOSS) alternative, preinstalled on many Linux distributions; a fork of the dormant OpenOffice and successor of the commercial StarOffice with its roots going back to 1985</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">OnlyOffice</span>, a newer FOSS contender with an Excel-like ribbon interface, first released in 2014</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Softmaker Office</span>, a proprietary office suite from Germany that has been developed since 1987 and is available in free and paid versions</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">WPS Office</span>, a proprietary office suite from China going back to 1988</li>
</ul>
<p>I limited this comparison to the best-known Excel alternatives and also excluded all those that are not sufficiently cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux). For example, not included in the comparison are:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Apache OpenOffice</span>, as its development has become quite dormant and LibreOffice is a more modern and feature-rich fork</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Calligra Sheets</span>, a KDE app initially release in 2000 as part of KOffice but currently only available for Linux and Unix</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gnumeric</span>, a GNOME app dating back to 2001 that is currently only available for Linux and Unix</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ability Office</span>, an office suite developed since 1996 but which is available for Windows</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Quattro Pro</span>, initially released in 1988 and now part of WordPerfect Office, which is only available for Windows</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Apple Numbers</span>, part of the iWork office suite (initial release 2004) which is only available for MacOS and iOS</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google Sheets</span>, as it's only available in the browser or as a mobile app</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zoho Sheet</span>, as it's only available in the browser or as a mobile app</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hancom Office</span>, a Korean office suite that's quite unknown abroad and is not available for Linux</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Polaris Office</span>, ditto</li>
</ul>
