My father in the 80s was working at GE where he extensively used Lotus 1-2-3. He loved it so much that he bought a computer in 85 and used to use it at home as well. I always hated the boring blue and black screen.
We moved back to Pakistan in early 90s and we setup a small girls school. He used Lotus to keep track of all students, results, late fees, accounts etc. It required a lot of data entry but he absolutely loved that he could get required data in seconds. All the fellow owners of schools were super fascinated.
It took quite a while for him to shift to Excel later as he was super comfortable with Lotus. Pretty sure before his death deep down he still preferred Lotus over Excel
