Re: excel-like improvements to chart editing

[Marc Dunord <marcdunord gmail com>]

i get the impression that a lot of effort is being put into letting
gnumeric become a kind of "mathematica via spreadsheet" program, which
is great but one should not forget that true genral-public success
will only come from making gnumeric's ergonomics truly outstanding.

e.g., excel 03 has incredibly smart "redo" (cntrl Y) capabilities when
editing say charts, and excel 07 (13?) lost most of them, compelling
many, including me, to stick to excel 03 despite its much smaller
worksheets, slowness, etc. (since CALC has almost no "redo"
capabilities and gnumeric either).

[but CALC --like all the excels but unlike gnumeric) has a "night
work" "high contrast inverse" mode with dark background and bright
characters...]
