message: The longer i use gnumeric the more i am impressed with its graphing capabilities and the graphing interface. I did not yet use the latest version of excel, but in the versions i have used until now you had to click on the various items in the graph if you wanted to configure them. OO Calc is using the same system. Gnumeric, on the other hand, has this nice dialog, where all the options are easily available, and it is very easy to add extra Data Series, Trend lines etc. I find this approach very comfortable, and noteworthy because seemingly the competition is still stuck in their "old" interface. Is this as innovative as i feel it is? Then i guess a sentence or two should be included about it.

message: We read:
:Gnumeric is a free spreadsheet program that is part of the GNOME desktop and has Windows installers available.
I wonder what this means.
Gnumeric didn't come on my Ubuntu-"preinstalled" little Dell. I installed it. I've also installed it on a Kubuntu, a OS X and a Vista machine. Installing on any of these is (thanks to others who have done the donkeywork for us) pretty much a no-brainer (and about equally so). When it's installed, it seems no more Gnomey than it seems OSXey.
I hesitate to reword this because I fear that it might have some meaning that has so far eluded me. If it does need rewording, it should be reworded in Spreadsheet too. -- Hoary (talk) 10:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
