Mechanical engineer here who could not live without it. And every meeting I go to, we are presented with Excel charts in one form or another. I love it tbh.
A few main ones: either to list out current & upcoming projects wrt cost & time (the logistical/budget parts) and also columns to sort out things like a pressure, temperature, volume, voltage, current, surface area, etc, depending on what you’re working on. My degree is ME, but I also work a lot of electrical projects so the ability to sort all of these properties out in an easy to read chart is immensely helpful.
People still use Excel?
Only every business you dont think about, and all the ones you do.
True, but I also personally use it for MMORPGs to keep track of things on my armies of alts :D
And those are the worst ones
Excel is my daily driver for basic data analysis and graph making. For more complicated tasks I use R.

what do you use excel for in your job? (i don’t know anything about mechanical engineering)

What do you use? The POS that is Google sheets? It can’t even import a CSV right.
Ugh, Google Sheets is so bad it makes me laugh.

Better than Keep?
Excel is great at manipulating low amounts of data and building functions and queries without any programming needed.
Hurr durr mainstream software bad!
