Le Livre d'Argent

@mmu_man @ayo I think it could be great to have a spreadsheet software that don't have to deal with ODF and style, but just provides a simple and efficient way to store data and formulas in TSV plain-text files.

You know, just a graphical window containing an editable cell grid with no support for fonts, colours, etc., that just makes data less usable. As in “Write programs that do one thing and do it well” (and handle text streams, because that is a universal interface).

But I guess that would be something too futuristic, the world isn't yet ready for that.

@mmu_man @ayo gnumeric is lighter than OOCalc, but that's still a full, style-included speadsheet software. It event have been publicised as “supporting all MS Excel functionnalities” or something like that. So that's not exactly what I'm talking about.
