I like Microsoft Excel because you can perform many functions that allows an order and control of any information and so you can get statistics and graphics. Also the power to formulate and obtain accurate results.

I don’t like that you need to understand how excel formulas work in order to be able to use it. I think it could be made simpler and more user friendly.
