Re: I don't think the problem is Excel
The problem here as I see it is that like a bunch of microsoft products it does a ton of things it has no business doing. The correct response should be "piss off that's not what this is for" but for some reason every time someone says "Hey, I want to do <pick a thing> with Excel" microsoft just decide that implementing the most half-assed possible way of doing that thing is the right answer as opposed to saying "No."
See also the fact that Word is for some reason a web browser, and that Outlook does.... sort of everything that outlook does.
