Name that spreadsheet program
I seem to remember reading on The Register a while ago about an open source spreadsheet program that was very comparable to Microsoft Excel, very compatible with the Microsoft xls files, and reportedly superior to the spreadsheet bundled with Open Office. I searched The Register but I could not find the original article.
Does anyone know what program this is? |

They all make the claim to be better than Excel. The best thing that they could do is to have the same functionality and have the same keystrokes that Excel uses but remove some of the annoyances like clippy and trying to think for you. I haven't found one yet that is comparable to Excel without having to relearn some things.
