It sure seems lighter/faster. Other differences: * It doesn't support drag to enter ranges in formulas * Arrow keys don't move the selection * It doesn't have nifty pie menus for dragging a selection * It doesn't support ctrl+z undo Does EtherCalc have multiple worksheets? Ethersheet does. EtherCalc's tabs-and-forms UI is clunky.

The undo functionality is actually almost there, I think we just don't have an interface for it. The arrow keys thing should be easy to implement. I will add it to github, and of course accept a pull request! We definitely need to accept ranges for formulas or some up with some easy way to do that. The project as a whole is definitely unfinished but we have been working on it for so long and lost some motivation. I wanted to just get it out there to at least re-motivate myself to work on it.

  Please note, I don't think all the features I listed are desirable. (Pie menus for dragging gestures? Pretty hokey.) Ethersheet allows typing ranges in formulas and that is possibly enough. Dragging to choose a range can be nice but it has to be implemented carefully. When to stop acquiring cells for the range and return focus to the formula editor? Some versions of Excel do this badly. For example, after dragging to enter a range you use arrow keys to balance parens. Excel thinks you are still selecting cells and inserts multiple ranges into your formula.

With 143 forks you can be sure at least some of them support multiple sheets :)

EtherSheet's UI for worksheets and column/row label context menus are both nice ideas — I'll work on integrating them into EtherCalc. :-)

Dragging the selected region works only for the last selected cell, not for all your selection. If you put 1 2 3 , select them all together and drag it becomes 1 1 1 1 1 not 1 2 3 4 5
