pyspread would be another interesting comparison:

Really though, spreadsheets don't so much need features per se, but a better interface which will scale to larger datasets and which reduces the likelihood of logical errors --- Quantrix, based on Lotus Improv is one of the few to do this.
- jonathaneunice 1y ago“Based on Improv”? Really?! Makes me want to take an immediate look. The Visicalc → 1-2-3 → Multiplan → Excel → Sheets progression? Mostly steady, incremental improvement. Some steps were great—like internet access and multi-user collaboration—but fundamentally, it’s a straight line. OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Numbers, etc.—they've all been basically just more increments on the same theme. Only two spreadsheet approaches have ever struck me as _truly_ different. One was Improv. (The other was Xerox Analyst, built in Smalltalk for the intelligence community.)
