  1. Like the sound of this... by BrokenHalo · · Score: 2, Informative
    Since Gnumeric is so very functional and damn quick to load. But as I often have to integrate spreadsheets and charts with WP documents (in scientific reports), I fear I'm stuck with OpenOffice for a while.

    Yes, I know LaTeX can handle it, but I haven't had the time to break that learning curve.

  2. Gnumeric on Mac OSX. by agentk · · Score: 4, Informative

    Gnumeric seems to work ok on OSX. You need to install an X11 Server and Fink, and then, in a Terminal: sudo fink install gnumeric (and wait a long time) or sudo apt-get install gnumeric.

    An Aqua or Carbon port would be cool though.

    If more people used wxWindows, then (a) porting to Windows and Mac would be really easy, and (b) wxWindows would continue to improve as people contributed.
