I am considering the purchase of a spreadsheet for company wide use. I am disappointed that the Lotus product is Sunview based and tend away from it for that reason. I am also not thrilled about it's apparent constriction not to wander to far from the DOS product, which keeps it from taking fuller advantage of a Unix/windowing environment. I understand that there will be an OpenLook version in the next few months, but I don't want to exercise any more patience than absolutely necessary. I was impressed by the Wingz demo I saw at Unix Expo here in October, and will soon take a closer look at the product - but I just read a rather alarming posting describing the product in largely negative terms. I have the PD spreadsheet SC, and it is not fully featured enough for my users. I am willing to pay what I have to to get the best spreadsheet available - I want my (new to Sun/Unix) users to have a good experience with the network and a good spreadsheet will be a big factor. Any suggestions ? Horror stories ? Preferences ?
