Ironically, I work in a regulated industry and every software we use has to be compliant with certain government regulations. We would actually love it if we got to use excel in our business workflow, but we're forced to deal with some horribly ungodly mess of softwares that cost tens of thousands of dollars, that do nothing more than have the magic "compliant with X" sticker.
There may be a good reason for it. Excel may be quick to set up, but is not known for data integrity. You don't want important data being subject to willy-nilly changes.
Just because I can quickly make a boat with duct-tape and 2x4's doesn't mean I'm ready for an Atlantic crossing.
