Linux can make them perfectly usable. honestly speaking the spirit behind the project is those students/professionals who can't go for a "state-of-the-art" PC to satisfy linux GUI.

That's why I have skipped "command based" tools as much as possible. Gnumeric is GNOME application and I have avoided such applications which need KDE/GNOME libraries. These applications demand too much packages as dependency. More fast and advanced tools are coming based on FOX toolkit/PyGtk. A spreadsheet may be there. Thanks for your ideas.
