That's simply false. LibreOffice has, since the 2010 fork of the code

I don't understand. That just moves them to a different file --

that.
I really love Emacs, however... One of the traders here where I work

Has anyone tried Pyspread?
I have not.
I have a fundamental problem with spreadsheets, the extremely narrow view
