Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat are the biggest national security threats to the USA. Russia can shut down energy, water and nuclear plants in the US, and that's mostly thanks to the security flaws in Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat.

In the interest of national security these products should be rewritten in Rust.

Hopefully, this will start a trend away from MS Office to other office programs. Preferably open source solutions.

Why would you assume moving to GSuite is indicative of a trend toward open-source? You have even less control than with Office.

I'm yet to find a single decent alternative to Excel. It's an excellent data modeling and analysis tool.

And yes, I've learned Python, R and SQL, but these tools are not a replacement for the Excel workflow.
