Y'all can flame me but Excel 2010 is the best thing that company has
put out in a long time.  All the pivoting tables and magic junk it
does blows me away.  But yes LibreOffice does have a decent app that
works great but just doesn't compare with Excel 2010.  I use Microsoft
Office 2010 at work and it is kind of hard to go back to LibreOffice
at home.  And I'd just run with CrossoverOffice but it does not work
with excel 2010 :(

Maybe LibreOffice has all those features too and I haven't bothered to
learn them as I'm a lazy bastard.
