I'm thinking USING VIM FOR SPREADSHEETS, for a few REASONS:
- you can DIFF it ! (For me, that's the main reason)
- vim key mappings
- vimscript, so I can easily program it myself
- easy to add my own key mappings
- faster to open and save than Libreoffice

I've done a bit of research and found these so far:

- CSV.VIM:

https://github.com/chrisbra/csv.vim

inspired by this advice for CSV files:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_CSV_files [3]
seems to be maybe the best one at the moment... I haven't had the time to try it out yet

It was made to make handling of CSV files easier and not for manipulating data or even a spreadsheet tool. However for a long time I have been thinking if it is possible to add formular support to it, but I don't have any idea how to do it right. You would need 2 views on a buffer one for editing formulas and one for seeing the result. And this would get even more complicated
if those formulas can be nested.

Therefore, csv.vim does not currently support this. I might add it later, if support is requested and
can be reasonably well implemented.

It has never before requested however ;) Nevertheless csv.vim contains some functions, that could be used for example at evaluating the Sum of a column or to get the Cell at a specified index.

Best,
Christian (csv.vim creator)
