it's weird that all of the open source options suck so bad. gnumeric actually seems like someone cared about it when making it. but they all have crashed and or frozen on me several times, and they all have really weird design flaws that i encounter basicaly immediately.

like,, I'm imagining,, frontend for sqlite, you make tables, then you define operations on them with,, idk,, R maybe. R spits out other tables or graphs etc. maybe that wouldn't be,, as friendly of an interface as excel, but it'd be,, not as hard to implement. The point is, you'd have your data, your processing and your results all in one thingy. you could also do python. pick your poison type thing

the issue with including arbitrary python code in spreadsheets is it's apparently very difficult to sandbox python. So i might do like,, javascript? or scheme? i think both of those have pretty okay sandboxing abilities
