Yeah, I was going to say Excel. I'm an accountant and I regularly use Excel to its limits. Honestly nothing else comes close, though I dearly wish it did. I run Linux on my desktop and I have both libreoffice and wps installed and will use them occasionally depending on what I'm doing, but if it's anything serious I go to a Windows machine with Excel.
