For so much financial logic. Anywhere that a non-technical person is sat in front of a computer and given data you will find Excel.
It is amazing what knots they will tie in it to avoid learning an actully useful tool.
Well, Excel works. And it has relatively gentle learning curve.
For certain values of "works". I also think the learning curve is part of the issue. You end up doing stuff Excel has no business handling but is there due to the absurd scope-creep.
