At this point, can all new "super spreadsheet" products please come with a standardised proforma comparing them to the other 50 super spreadsheet apps along a set of standardised comparison points please?

I genuinely do not have the time to compare between this, air table, Monday.com, smart sheet, etc etc etc

I hear you, but you know it is not much different than the variety of programming languages or frameworks we are used to. I think there is still a huge market for new spreadsheet apps. Some will succeed and most will not. At this point my hot favorite ones I would like to learn more about are grid.is, rows.com and equals.com. But I am sure there are tons I don't know

We moved from Google Sheets to use a "fancy spreadsheet" product and the missing table stakes were a lot more painful than the benefits of the fancy features. Turns out Google Sheets has solved a lot of corner cases that we took for granted.

dont stop there, can you remember some examples?

You guys are completely hosed I’m afraid, tomorrow I’m unveiling my competing project ‘columns 3.0’. We would have beat you to market but we’re big fans of late materialization.

here we go again, OLAP vs OLTP debates as far as the eye can see
