The best tool is the one that gets the job done

R versus Python. Stata versus SPSS. Excel versus everyone. Statistical tools are essential, but arguing is not. The best tool is the one that works for your job at hand.

Sometimes you have to switch to better collaborate. Sometimes you stick with the one that’s not a hundred percent optimal because you are faster with it. Sometimes, possibly often, Excel has its merits.

It’s no secret that you can use more than one tool. Modern technology is in incredible. Enjoy!
