Was initially hopeful that this would rather than have A..B..C... and 1..2..3... for columns and rows would instead have one creating categories à la Javelin/Lotus Improv/Quantrix/Flexisheet --- give me that, and have a dynamic system for displaying a pane of formulae and one would have a _very_ nice tool.

Huh, I haven't thought about that yet, but I like it. I opened an issue to track this: https://github.com/garritfra/cell/issues/11

I'd have to look into the tools you mentioned to really understand all the details. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm gratified!

I made a comment on that issue which hopefully will inform this --- I will note that while on the surface it's a great idea, the UI will be _very_ challenging and not being able to address it may make it not worth pursuing.

Alternately, maybe the correct approach would be some sort of hybrid where columns/rows can be named and then referred to using said names....

I really miss Lotus Improv, and can't afford Quantrix, and don't have the programming chops to resurrect Flexisheet, so I keep pestering folks about this, but in the meanwhile, I use pyspread....
