Many years ago, I worked with somebody who used a spreadsheet like that. I tried it and found it to be way too cumbersome. The overhead involved of putting tables in to slew of different files and starting up LibreOffice to edit/view them is huge compared to just editing them with emacs in a file along with the source code. Maybe my computer is too old/slow. Maybe it's just due to how bad I am at Excel/LibreOffice... -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
