Office 2011 for mac was a disaster. The new Office, particularly Excel, however is really nice — MS has been quietly making it more and more like the Windows version. Some power features are still missing, but it seems MS is really working on including them. For example, there is now a proper VBA IDE unlike the castrated version a couple of years ago.
Got a tip for us?

They are also considering adding Python for scripting:

"Save AutoRecover info every x min"? I'm able to change the interval and uncheck.

They've mentioned on reddit they are working on implementing Python. Hopefully it will happen soon.
Didn't know that Apple added VBA. I noticed the Automator workflows are no longer available with Office 2016. Excel needs to add multiple sheets on a page as a next major feature.
I prefer how Numbers does multiple sheets on a page. I remember before Spreadsheet Tabs in Excel, a competitor (Quattro Pro or maybe Lotus 123) added tabs and later Microsoft added it to Excel. I am surprised the multiple sheets on a page was never added with Excel. Numbers autosave feature works great, I don't have to worry about incremental saves and I get versioning on top of that.
