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: 
a spreadsheet with vim-like keybindings, so not strictly Vim 
    
Has anyone used any of these? How was it?
Cheers =)
