The good news is that they announced that they're changing the new soon; they have not said what it will be though.
They’ve just announced it! The new name is Microsoft Excel 365.
I'm trying to imagine a worse name. Since God has a sense of irony, I imagine it will end up being a doozy!
YES! It's the most imposing name imaginable. And not at all intuitive.
For the record, there’s nothing ominous about it. The lead developer goes by the nickname Calc. And it is forked from Misskey. As to why Misskey is called that, that’s because the lead developer liked a song with that name or something. It’s funny to me how these things can be so personal.
