I found that as an avid Excel user, this program was very easy to use. After just a few minutes of study I was able to navigate through the process of making the spreadsheet work.

I did find that the gnumeric was not compatible with Excel, so if you wanted to transfer information from one to the other, you are pretty much out of luck.

Groups with no money to purchase the rights to Microsoft will enjoy this program if this is all they use. It IS easy to navigate and I recommend this to anyone with a limited budget.

From what I understand, this program also continues to reinvent itself and even becomes more user friendly.
