"a slow, old pc with 8GB RAM"
By the way, this struck me like a humour of era. Oh god it has 8GB RAM. Cheers! To the good old days.
I am sold on the website looks and license model!
It loads quick, and works with large data. Crucially, you can view and edit visually, not only programmatically.
Assuming those already working with such data have Excel and Python tools etc., the pitch here is that the $39 license fee saves time or effort. So, is it that the user can spot and correct errors that you couldn't otherwise do with either Excel or with other big data tools? And/or otherwise do the necessary data manipulations?
I came across the phrase 'eyes like a shithouse rat' recently, to describe the people doing final checks at a printing press. I think there's probably plenty of people out there who would pay $39 for eyes like a shithouse rat.
Also the website makes me nostalgic :)
I’m don’t do a ton to big data stuff, but sometimes despite Excels stated row and column support- I find it effectively melts down if even 100K/100 of data and forget adding formulas.
The ability to use legacy spreadsheets and macros.
Let's be real, Excel self perpetuates by at once being awful but also the thing everyone used to use thus must still use.
Lots of spreadsheet apps better than Excel have come and gone over the years...
