Yes, it's kinda annoying when people call something spreadsheet, when it's really just a richful WYSIWYG-interface for a relational database. Not that it's bad to have a good Database-Interface, but the flawed communication will make a poor impression with those who really want a real excel-like spreadsheet, and then got something else. This will probably more harmful than beneficial in the long run.
