Three years ago after trying Unity for a month I chose to learn Godot instead. I see now how right that decision was. Well done past self. Have a future cookie.
For me the rule that has always worked is "bet everything on open-source". It has always paid off.
When people at uni used Matlab, I learned R (before R-studio even existed) and python. I moved to linux as soon as I could. I never wanted to learn anything MS or Apple specific, or proprietary technologies such as visual studio, excel, vba, c#, SAS. I went on docker ASAP...
Now the world in my field runs on open source tecnologies, and I am the leaders of the "new stuff" wherever company I go.
On the long term learning open source solutions is always a win. Best case scenario it becomes the industry standard, worst case scenario it gives you the know how to master proprietary tools
I agree for the most part, but Excel is just so good.
They say “Excel excels at excel”.
I prefer Google Sheets over Excel but cannot tell you why.
Is it the UI? We use Google sheets at my work and I hate it. Missing formulas & formatting options that I like.
It works fine if you do the basics, but its not as full featured as I want it.
Really? My Google Sheets has so many formulas and conditional formatting. There's so much I can't do in Excel that I can do in Sheets :/
Also, adding checkboxes in Excel is a pain lol. They made it so difficult.
