I suspect path dependence (and price for quantrix) more than anything is what keeps Excel in charge.
I mean even beyond just switching costs: Excel is for instance the only format for getting data from http://www.earthchem.org/petdb/ or, to keep harping on geologists, people that keep implementing models in excel: which you then have to use because nobody trusts code you wrote yourself.
