I've had this same thought! I've been working on [VisiData]
(Python+spreadsheet+terminal) for the past year, and I think the interface is more than sufficient for all kinds of applications. Besides the main VisiData app, I've made a git interface (vgit), a game (vdgalcon,
a remake of Galactic Conquest), a chat client, and I have designs for a unix shell and a python debugger, among other things.
If you want to try to fit something you're working on into a terminal spreadsheet interface, we could put something together really quickly. With vdtui (the core interface layer), you just have to collect your row objects, specify the columns, write the commands, et voila! We should be able to get a workable prototype going in an hour or two at most.
