That’s what I thought almost thirty years ago: That MS Access is the solution to all problems in an office environment. I‘d model the domain and create a full working app with database backend in days.

And five years later I consulted companies who had business critical solutions built in MS Access that were not scaling anymore (concurrent users, faster database etc)

Applied to this article: Yes, you can use Google Sheets for all sorts of tasks, but eventually you will need to move on to a more robust solution.
