| Gnumeric 1.0 Proves Stable and Fast [LinuxPlanet] |
Jan. 09, 2002
LinuxPlanet has published a review by Brian Proffitt of Gnumeric 1.0, which covers what it is, what's new in the latest version, where you get it, and how you install it . . .
"It has been three years and 11 days between the release of Gnumeric 0.4 and Gnumeric 1.0.0. Along the way, this application has grown in stability and popularity as it became intimately associated not only with GNOME, but with Linux itself."
" 'Going to need a spreadsheet?' my Linux gurus would tell me, 'Then you should try Gnumeric.' "
"Over and over this recommendation would come to me, and many times I would heed it. There would be times, of course, when I would try something new, for professional or personal sake. Calc held me for a long time, since it was familiar to me. But I always came back to Gnumeric."
"In truth, Gnumeric was the first desktop application I ever used in Linux that gave me a clear sign that not all good apps have to be on a Windows platform. In my formative years on Linux, it was the one thing I could point to and say 'See? Excel is not the be-all end-all. Nor is Lotus' . . ."
