Yes, a beginning of a spreadsheet called gnumeric. A few weeks ago not even the
scrollbars worked properly, not to mention the lack of chart diagrams or any
embedding technique.  Just for the records: kspread provided these things from
the very beginning. As it is now, I'd estimate the time to write something with
Qt/KDE that offers gnumeric's functionality somewhere between one or two days.
It will be hard to emulate the weird scrollbars, though ;-)

But there's another difference between Torben and Miguel besides the
quality of their code: Torben doesn't travel around to tell people that
Miguel's software is poorly designed. Neither should he.
