I think excel/google sheets are generally well regarded in online circles. I also don’t see that much C++ hate, at least not the same kind of viceral hate systemd receives.

C++ hate is somewhat like: nooo memory safety better, rust was depicted with chad emoji and C++ as the soyjack

It is there but most people don't care, C++ is fine imo, I mean whatever works-> works.

Its very little hate compared to systemd imo
