Well, as far as I've noticed so far, Google's spreadsheet is far better 
than Open Office (Annoying how I'm maxed at 3 conditionals that only work 
with numbers).  I haven't tried in Excel yet, can't quite download it.  I 
have a lot of google documents but sometimes working on these spreadsheets 
online fails and I can't update them when I want.  Google Drive offered the 
ability to sync files with the PC, but all it actually synchronizes is fake 
files.  Links to the actual files.  There's no actual synchronization at 
all.

What I want is a fully functional version of the web spreadsheet program as 
an installed program on the system, one that can synchronize with G. Drive 
(and if fails, then the spreadsheet will retain the data and try again 
later).  Google could probably make profit selling their google drive 
programs like Microsoft does.  I'd definitely get Google Spreadsheets to 
support it if it was available.

My issues are that, I need 5+ conditionals.  I would like to mark Cells 
with "N/A" in them as dark red, cells with "*" as red, and cells with a 
value of 500 or higher as light red.  So on so forth.  Open Office doesn't 
let you do N/A or *, and it maxes at 3 conditionals.  I also need more than 
400,000 cells.  I'm betting Google could lift these limits for paying 
customers, or people who pre-calculate all t he data in the spreadsheet 
before it gets uploaded.  That way it's less strain on Google's drives and 
makes people happy.

Another good reason I love google spreadsheets so much, is it doesn't 
display infinite un-ending sheets.  When I want to go to the end of an 
infinite document, it gets kind of annoying.  I like being able to cut 
things off right there at the V column and have nothing but blank space on 
that side.  Not more unused grids just sitting there.

Sample of my current spreadsheet and why others don't seem to work as a 
replacement.

What Open Office looks like:

Yet to find out of MS Spreadsheets can do everything google can 
(EVERYTHING) but would rather wait to see of either google will make a new 
product like I'm speaking of or if someone else knows what I can do to make 
this work.
34,563 Rows.  A through V Columns.  (760,386 Cells) {2,446,477 Characters}.

I'm hoping I chose the right location, this is for Developers right?  If 
any of you can make a sort of app like this that could work with google, or 
if google dev team actually checks this place and thinks my idea might be 
worth doing?  I'm really hoping a google dev decides to present the idea of 
making user programs for this stuff.  I love google drive, and would prefer 
it over MS Office.  I'd need a decision semi soon though if any G Devs 
might take this into consideration.  If G Devs do not check this place and 
someone knows one, please forward this topic to one of them.  Thanks.
