Boy I love using Windows 11 at work
When I have too many things opened, the taskbar (not icon-only view) will literally reduce itself to 50% length

>roughly half the time when you alt-tab between different workbooks, Excel will decide that no, sorry- this time to jump into the ribbon you needed to hit the Alt key twice instead of once

if they put some actual effort into it, it could be a powerhouse of an application similar to Visio.

it literally is better as long as you don't need some third-party module that is likely pozzed anyways

Our office is still on Windows 10 and Office 2016 but we're switching to W11 and 365 now. How fucked am I? Does Windows 11 at least still have a classic theme? How much of this shit can you unfuck without admin rights?

This predates jeets. It was made by the "What is the use case for being a power user?" guys. When Microsoft first introduced ribbon everyone hated it because it changed the menu layout we all had memorized.

Why did they keep stapling shit onto excel instead of letting it breathe as a spreadsheet program? I swear, I'm losing my mind watching other departments use excel for everything because Microsoft allowed them to.

Ribbons are actually better than going through 4 different menus. Menus were fine in 1997 but not now with the amount of features Excel has.
