If you do a Google search on "advantages" by "matt" you'll find what the
world's thoughts about this issue were some days ago

Most of the disadvantages you run into are when you try to use a
spreadsheet instead of a database program or word processor- in other
words, trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. Do the other
questions provide a context that might give more clues?

From an IT angle:

They make poor word processors.
They're just so gride-like and compartmental (poor Feng Shui).
You have to know what you're doing to write useful formulas.
