First-class integration in Excel would be a game changer. Holy shit. Though adding a multiline editor with indentation in Excel would be really nice as well. We've got to stop pretending Excel fu…

I may be a javascript programmer, but I am also an expert on virus airborne transmission, political polling, and now, US governance of corporations. Let me dig into my Wikipedia files and get back to …
