If only Office on macOS actually worked as well as its Windows counterpart

I've been using it since the latest version was made available, and early on it crashed from time to time, but I haven't noticed problems for more than a year.

  • It ranges from bugs to missing features.

    When you import UTF-8 encoded CSV file, you cannot scroll the preview, since todays update. In previous versions, it would crash Excel.

    You cannot connect to PostgreSQL, unless you use a "blessed" ODBC driver. The one from EnterpriseDB, which works will all other Mac ODBC apps, will make Excel crash. So will your own build from odbc.postgresql.org, no matter which version you try.

    There are exactly none of the Power* or Inquire features from the Windows Excel.
