OTOH, there's spreadsheets. The abstraction is just so great that users can and do use them for anything.

The problem seems to be that there's not many such great abstractions to be found.



But parent is still correct on "zero percent understandability".

I have seen dozens upon dozens of Excel sheets which "just worked" until they didn't and then of course person who could fix that left company 10 years ago.

Besides I also know dozens of people whose life would be easier if they would learn a bit more of Excel like pivot table is there for them.


For some quantity of use. When I say infinite customizeability I mean its just fronting chat gpt + tools without any real product use case.
