--- Comment #34 from Jonny Grant <jg at jguk.org> ---
I've reported many easy to reproduce issues, I don't recall any being fixed.
The reality is that we are probably all software engineers, but we use Calc for
accounts, book keeping etc. But Calc doesn't work well for that purpose,
because it doesn't calculate correctly decimal places and appropriately round
(because it uses floating point).

Usually these kind of issues trigger either a fork, or a restart with a fresh
spreadsheet, this feels more likely, it's not complicated to create spreadsheet
software. Just consider how LLVM was spawned, and even the Linux kernel, it's
all scratching an itch. So hopefully a competitor will arrive, with better
features and design architecture.

Unfortunatly Gnumeric suffers the similar issues, already tried that. Google
Sheets works well though.

I don't think this reply or others should be marked as Spam. Please don't do
this to users who are contributing, thank you for your understanding.
