Why do "experts" insist that Excel is going to die when it is the most indestructible tool in the global economy?

Every year, a new "No-Code" tool or an AI emerges, promising to be the "Excel-Killer," and every year, Excel only grows stronger.

I don’t think AI is the end; it’s an interesting tool to enhance our analysis. Features like Copilot and Python integration in Excel don’t replace the spreadsheet; they lower the barrier to entry for beginners.

One of Excel's greatest advantages is that you can export data from any multi-million dollar software (SAP, Salesforce, Oracle), but in the end, the final decision is made within a .xlsx file. Unlike a closed app, in Excel, the user has total control over the logic without depending on IT.

I believe that in the next 20 years, we will still be using cells. It is a perfect tool that doesn't need to be reinvented.

Do you think there is any real technology capable of unseating Excel's dominance in the next 10 years, or are we "trapped" in cells forever?
