The black and white of it, you're looking at something home brew then.

No one is going to have anything that is plain and simple enough that does
exactly what you want it to do without a lot of extra fluff, and with the
additional "kind-of-a-restriction" of being under Linux, I can't offer
anything up off the top of my head.  Even under Windows I can't think of a
bare bones table data editor that does JUST that.  (I'm a Windows desktop
developer but I know my way around a Linux machine rather well as it is my
primary job).  The tools that do already exist, and are already out there
for public consumption (Anything between commercial and public domain) will
end up having more of the fluff to reach out to a wider range of people.

Considering that if Product A has exactly what you're looking for right now
with absolutely no fluff, and Product B which has exactly what you're
looking for PLUS extra fluff, more people are going to Product B because of
the fluff that they COULD use later on down the road.  Look at Win 98 vs
Win 7.  Both let you open up Calc.exe, they run Office, OpenOffice, Java,
FireFox, etc, etc...  But, Win7 supports multi-threaded CPUs, 64-bit
instructions, wider range support of games, better support for graphics and
hardware.  If I were to offer you either operating system for free, which
would you take?

Unfortunately, I feel that you're going to have to build something to suit
your needs, even though for basic tools, I still scream out to not reinvent
the wheel.
