Last time I tried Gnumeric it couldn't do graphs. Other than that, I had
the same finding as you, Gnumeric seemed a bit easier to use and
transition from Excel. But now I use OO and the integration with the other
parts of OO are pretty good and most things seem to work pretty well. My
Fiance uses it quite a bit and she says she likes it okay. She knows it's
different than Excel but doesn't necessarilly prefer one or the other.


hope that helps,
