I doubt I've ever heard of its name as an spreadsheet application. M$
Excel just works with its own closed source VBA version, my
OpenOffice.org Calc works with VBA, Python, and Java scripting
languages.
I did not know that Calc works with VBA. I though it was the Basic of
OpenOffice itself.
I've never spent a lot of time writing and maintaining
source code with Python as with VB. What makes it not a good competitor
to M$ Excel?
I'm fully with you, but my customers not. They use MS software every day
in every form you can imagine. That I post here suggests that I'm not
"bound" to it but it's probably important for my customers....
So not pun intended for any other tool besided MS-Office tools. It's
just what my customers are used to....

I see. Open source has been having many problems with business for
years. And it seems like there would be no thorough solution for it in
near future. Your customers don't have the freedom in software, thus
restrict your freedom in software as well.
Best regards,
