Hello,
Thank you very much for Gnumeric! I started using it about 1.5 years ago (it was 1.8.2 shipped with 
Fluxbuntu 7.10) and I think it's the best spreadsheet software in the world!
But I also think there's no worthy replacement OpenOffice.org Writer. It would seem very nice if I could 
to insert Gnumeric charts and tables directly into Writer. Will it become possible someday?

You could try out Abiword if you want something small and fast...

Abiword may be fine if you want a free-software word processor in
its own right.  But many of us who have to work with
word-processor documents and spreadsheets have to interoperate
with Microsoft Office-using colleagues.  Gnumeric is good at that
task, Abiword is not, by a long way.

For incoming documents, I often rely on Google.

When I need more than text, I use Kompozer.

When I need more than HTML, I use Prince and boom.css

It's hard to beat R for graphs.

When I spend more time and effort on the tool than on the expression,
I look for another tool.

One incompatibility I found between Gnumeric and Excel was "ceil" and "ceiling".
