Very true.
A friend said to me the other day that he only ever used electronic gadgetry these days as it was quick neat and easy to interrogate and there was nothing a book could do that he couldn't.
Another friend took out his little (paper) notebook and threw it on the floor, saying bet you can't do that!!
My view remains that a manually entered paper-based logbook is a much more personal and personalised document and I would never consider an Excel spreadsheet output in the same way.
I would certainly never accept one from an unknown pilot wanting to join our group - still, that's luddite for you!
