Thanks a lot for your input, all :-)
Very good point lith: I use spreadsheets for many different purposes, and I
need different solutions for different problems. That's probably why my
question was vague: "Has anyone used any of these? How was it?"
So far I think I could replace some of my spreadsheets with two types of
tools:
1. a custom app (it's your proposal lith: "keep the data in csv files and
then manipulate the data from a script").
=> I have a farily compex accounting spreadsheet, which I plan to
turn into an app.
I will be much easier to interact with it than using a spraedsheet.
Also, it is more lightweight, and thus easier to input some data without
having to wait for Liberoffice to load and then save the file.
2. a spreadsheet (Vim solution)
- csv.vim seems good for simple tasks but doesn't have full-blown
spreadsheet capabilities. It doesn't enable me to program formulas in
cells; but maybe I can create custom vimscripts for that? It' sounds
annoying to have to re-invent the formula-wheel for each spreadsheet - has
anyone gone that way?
=> I might use this solution for simple spreadsheets, like a
list of interesting modules to look at later, and a small description for
each.
- scls seems like a promising solution, I'd have to look how reliable
the community is - any feedback on that?
- spreadsheet.vim seems to have spraedsheet capabilities: cells are
easily programmable; but the community seems even smaller - or inexistant.
2bis. keep on using Libreoffice
- it's heavy and slow, and doesn't have key mappings, but it works
out of the box (user friendly display).
It could be diff-able, if I save files as CSV, and thus don't use
formulas, which makes it lose a lot of its appeal. There might be a trick
to use formulas in CSV documents, maybe by programming plugins or using
macros; but I think I'd rather spend energy exploring Vim-like solutions.
Any more thoughts?
