In cases such as multi-user environment where data integrity and security is of concern Excel is worst option, even free applications can unlock any Excel password.
It looks like we all agree. Excel is a "Jack of all trades, master of none". Excel is a great tool but you got to keep perspective on its limits.

Gantt Chart is one of the ways to present project schedule. Excel does not schedule and so is useless for project planning especially when there are multiple constraints and calendars.
