Gnumeric Turns 5
Jody Goldberg writes "Five years ago, Miguel committed the first code for Gnumeric to CVS. In a testament to the quality of the code several lines are still in use. Since that time the project has grown to more than 300,000 lines and now supports all 325 worksheet functions in MS Excel, plus almost 100 more. This seemed like a good time to thank all the people who have contributed to Gnumeric over the years. We're about to start the run up to the the next stable release which will be out in a few
weeks and we look forward to continuing work with GNOME, and the community at large to produce the most powerful spreadsheet in the world."

Don't hate me for telling the truth.

It's stupid. You're making asses out of yourselves.
Ok, now that I've fed my inner troll... Really, stop comparing every piece of software you do an article on to the windows variant. For one thing, most people reading slashdot don't care, they already use linux. Everyone bitches when people compare the other way around, so why should the zealotry be any different?
*prepares to be modded down*

SO WHAT IS THIS THING A PROGRAM FILE OR A PASCAL FILE
was it written by the dell intern cause the black one is a handsome spade
some trolls are RAdIcAL!!!!!
I agree. When I first tried using it around 5 years ago now, it was fucking buggy and unstable and had no features at all. Like all Linux software now, I reckon it's still fucking buggy and unstable, just crammed with useless bloat... erm, sorry, features.
And still doesn't hold a candle to Excel. Free software still can't do desktop apps (from scratch).
Wasn't Gnumeric supposed to be some kind of showcase of the types of things that could be done with the GNOME framework? Very little, it seems.
