The tree closes on Saturday; I think they hope to release on Monday next
week.

I don't use Gnumeric much, but I earn my living (I'm a freelance writer
and editor) with AbiWord CVS HEAD. It's a really nice program, and I'm
finding it very solid these days. The table support is great, as is font
handling.

I also help write the documentation for AbiWord, which makes me a little
biased, but I have nothing to do with the code. I'm C++ illiterate.
