Re: [BLUG] Gnumeric fun: Dual-core/Quad-core comparison

Yes, I think Gnumeric is much better than OOo Calc. Gnumeric was part
of an effort to make a suite of office applications for Gnome. AbiWord
was also part of that. Gnumeric doesn't make it as straightforward to
make a graph, but once you figure out the graph tree structure, you can
do quite a bit. Like I just revised the Price per GHz/core graph so
that it includes the ratio graph with a second y-axis at a different
scale. It took me a bit to figure out how to associate the second plot
with the y-axis2.

Appearently http://www.editgrid.com/ uses Gnumeric as a backend or as
a code base. Looks pretty neat.
