It might just be me, but i've found manipulating tables and formulae in Org to be nothing but pain. I probably don't understand enough how they work, though (i love and daily use many other Org features though). SES looks pretty fine to me, at first glance!
- mcshicks 11y agoThis is exactly my experience as well. I more or less use org mode all the time for organizing tasks, preparing document drafts, etc. I really like the HTML and other format exports for getting quick drafts.
- josteink 11y agoIf you use the edit-formula mode (which you should, C-c ') you should have real-time highlighting of the affected cells of any expression you write. I agree it's not so plain and cut like Excel, but it's not terrible either. You can probably find more useful things (like turning coordinate grid on/off) in the Emacs manual too: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Editing-and-debugging-formulas.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Edit...
- josteink 11y agoJust for fun, I tried using ses-mode inside org-babel. It didn't work for a new empty code-block, but if I pasted an existing ses-mode file into it, it did actually work. So you can have your org-mode cake and eat it too with ses :)
