I've had the same copy of excel since high school, and it's done a damn fine job processing experimental date through undergrad, my PhD, and 6 years as a working researcher.
It's also the software pretty much everyone has, so you can easily share data with collaborators and other researchers. And it has a ton of functionality so you can process and analyze data easily, and create the visuals for papers very easily.
