Vim Spreadsheets

Hi there, 

I'm thinking using Vim for spreadsheets, for a few reasons:
 - you can diff it ! (For me, that's the main reason)
 - vim key mappings
 - vimscript, so I can easily program it myself
 - easy to add my own key mappings
 - faster to open and save than Libreoffice

I've done a bit of research and found these so far:

csv.vim:      
inspired by this advice for CSV files:
seems to be maybe the best one at the moment... I haven't had the time to try it out yet

 - spreadsheet.vim
seems dead (not updated for 11 years now). But might do the job anyway?

 - vim-orgmode (vim plugin) => todo list, project planning 

 - table-mode:    
not really a spreadsheet... it seems like it's for displaying something as a table.

 - Tcalc:      
not really a spreadsheet: "allows you to to do all your accounting with plain text files using the full power of your favorite text editor". "It is a command line tool that operates as a filter. It processes your accounting files as it's input, performs all the calculations, and outputs a report in the format of the original file[s]."

 - sc or slsc
spreadsheet with vim-like keybindings, so not strictly Vim 


Has anyone used any of these? How was it?

Cheers =)
