libreoffice like tools can also export to html and import it again.

<TABLE CELLSPACING="0" COLS="2" BORDER="0">
<COLGROUP SPAN="2" WIDTH="85"></COLGROUP>
<TR>
<TD HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="LEFT">a</TD>

Its diffable

In the end it depends on which features you need.
openoffice like tools support
- formulars
- zooming (easily)
- printing
- collapsing colums (eventually this could be implemented by conceal
feature now)

I don't know more tools than you've already found yourself.

About sc/slc: I tried it once, but in the end I didn't use it often
enough to learn everything from scratch such as "how to export to csv,
how to ..."

Don't forget that in calculation apps you often can use
ctrl-<up/down/right/left> to jump to next border and tab/cr to move
right/bottom. Not as nice as Vim but often good enough.

Don't forget about additional csv tools such as ruby/python/... which
all can read/write such files easily. VimL is nice, but date
manipulating eg could be harder for instance.
