Today, if I try to uninstall python2 from Xfce spin (rawhide), this
is
what
gets removed as dependent: ... gnumeric ...
While I doubt the actual usefulness of gnumeric ...
Two comments:
(1) python should not be (is not) a dependency for gnumeric per the
following:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/gnumeric
http://gnome-apps.13852.n7.nabble.com/gnumeric-amp-python2-td71380.html
Maybe the Fedora gnumeric package can be edited.
(2) Over an accounting career I've used Lotus, Excel, Gnumeric,
LibreOffice, and Google Sheets. Here is my quick judgement: Lotus is
gone, Excel & Libre are slow loading and basically always have some
annoying but not show stopping bugs, gSheets requires the internet and
doesn't natively provide portable docs. gnumeric is stable, fast loading,
has no observed bugs for basic use, provides portable docs, and includes
all core spreadsheet functionality. It makes sense as a component of the
lighter weight xfce spin.
