Annoying but strange difference between Excel and google Sheets

Annoying but strange difference between Excel and google Sheets

With Excel when you want to concatenate strings you just use the overloaded plus sign, so =A3 + " Hello" whould add the string hello to whatever is in cell A3. With Google Sheets, this doesn't work, you need the use the ampersand, so =A3 & " Hello" makes sense given the different heritages. One is from the 1-2-3 world and the other from the Javascript one.
