I always liked the fact that Trello consider themselves to be competing with Excel, and in one of its main usecases, which is storing lists and project tracking, it does a great job of that. Of course, they are NOT taking on the excel as application platform usecase. but it does suggest that the replacement for that probably doesn't have to be a spreadsheet, either.
