Oh this has been posted before. It's funny because I worked at a small company where doing what the author suggests would have been impossible and also stupid. Spreadsheets have their place. I'm so sorry that doesn't fit your tech idealism.

AutoKey. xRDP. But, one little app that uses .NET for who knows what. Run .NET in WINE, nope. Run Mono, nope. Nope. No Linux for me. No xRDP. No AutoKey.

Boot Windows10, so it's their slow version of RDP. The first thing that I manually do is run my "Startup" Excel spreadsheet. "Developer" mode, VBA, DLL declarations, lots of insanity, and a few poorly chosen hotkeys for a sad version of AutoKey using Excel.

Recently, I created a Wizard score card in LibreOffice. I lost my scoresheet, but the hotel lobby printed out the .ods file using Excel, margins chopped off and as always that extra blank page.

So what I read here is: Please bring me a filemaker pro app to incorporate into out automated systems.

There is the equivalent of a cambrian layer's worth of business productivity frameworks. THEY ARE ALL COMING FOR YOU! :D
