I may be being silly about this, and I probably should at least try how well google sheets works for me as a regular part of my workflow, but I'd really prefer an actual local piece of software than a web app.
Sadly, the world of native apps, at least in the commercial space, seems to be drifting away from the tenants of stability and user control that the space used to exemplify. Excel 365 (or whatever the hell MS wants to call it) randomly auto-updates itself without warning or confirmation.
They got some help by me for moving out the heavy stuff to SQL/BigQuery but that was also for the better. BigQuery and Sheets integrate very well these days so they could even use a Google sheet as a UI for the queries. Rows and columns, much better than any other web UI.
(Yes I believe you are being silly)
I created a simple function/macro once in Sheets to help me indicate when a group of rows were done; I had to watch my 3-5k sheet painfully iterate through every line and assign new colors. The script system even gave up at some point after I closed my laptop(? So much for online!..), and I had to manually restart it.
