Oh, it is just a pretty terrible set of tools if you need to do anything that is semi professional (build a complex spreadsheet or a presentation you can show in public, for example).

Uh what do you mean by “complex” here? That’s what apps script is for. I have a spreadsheet that processes my gmail inbox using regular expressions. Try that in Excel.

I think it’s just making fu. Of how absolutely dogshit google productivity apps are.

Compared to what? We use some of the Google stuff (mail, calendar, meet and Google office) and they do the job.
Starbuck@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yeah. I’m really curious what this person is standing for here.

For enterprise environments really nothing compares to MS. The whole suite of power apps shoots productivity through the roof. Power query, power automate, power apps, BI, etc. With Python integration I can do even more, I can automate most things and set up automations for non savvy peers.
By enterprise I just mean any business that deals with a lot of data, I work for a company with 15 people and we’d need probably 5 more if we were running on Google. 😂😂

I have the exact opposite experience, honestly, running the IT of a 120 employee company. MS is too bloated with legacy systems, while I find Google very purposeful engineered to get the job done. I very much believe it’s more of a habit thing than anything else. Would need 5 more people to run everything on MS compared to Google.
I do concede that sometimes it feels like MS began doing their stuff in the 90s, while Google began with theirs in the early 10s; some basic functionality Google haven’t gotten around to yet.

Heh, our company is bigger but I guess we don’t use spreadsheets the way you do. At least on the dev side basic functionality is fine, and our core business runs on real databases and stuff like AWS quicksight.

Yeah, just trying to understand what OP meant here. Didn’t know the Google suite had a bad reputation.

Excel has never once shot slicers over the spreadsheet (something I have had happen on several occasions in Google Sheets). And it has issues with formatting tables in Docs - basically it takes way longer to get something that looks half as good.

Compared to Microsoft desktop office programs.

Compared to Microsoft, they’re… both bad.

Amazingly it doesn’t focus at all on the person with Downs.
sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Shit, I totally missed that. This is for reals a Google Workspace ad that I only modified the text of. I wouldn’t have used this particular ad if I had seen that. Apologies for the miss!!

No, you’re good. I was pointing out how it didn’t need to resort to focusing on her to try to make the point. It’s better like this.
