Gnumeric is pretty pretty too (pun intended) - IMHO.

This is rethorical question only, of course

*DISAGREE*

- why is pretty a problem/criteria if you just want to
have something done?

Perhaps "pretty" was poor word choice. "Excessive featuritis" might have been better.

A search for obscure hardly maintained application for simple
spreadsheet task does not seem to me like the easiest/fastest way to
get stuff done.

If the answer to my rethorical question is .... cause we can:
There is always venerable sc

The features got in the way. The first problem was that
LibreOffice Calc and Gnumeric was there's no no obvious way to set font parameters and column width for entire spreadsheet. Then when looking for solution to that problem there were a plethora of iconized menus with their own plethora of irrelevant choices. <end rant ;>

Actually sc would be a good choice if I were already familiar with vi.

[http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/financial/spreadsheet/!INDEX.html] lists some GUI alternatives that may meet my preferences.

I should have time to check them out today.
Thanks all.



There is even article about how to use sc here:

Hope it helps,
