Isn't that what Numbers is? And it's terrible if you know Excel. Plus Office is only like $10 a month now.

Edit: Meant Numbers, said Sheets.

Sheets is definitely usable but it's a bit light on functionality. I'm using the new Excel for Mac right now and it's just very slow and buggy. Also, the aforementioned alt-key shortcut is absent in the Mac version. Not having these shortcuts literally adds hours to my workday.

I'd probably pay 300-400 dollars for an Excel alternative with full keyboard shortcuts.

I've been using it for months with large-ish sheets (e.g. 10-20MB) but have neither seen it to be slow nor buggy.

And you've tried Mac Numbers (http://www.apple.com/mac/numbers/) right?

I tried it many years ago and it was lacking features like pivot tables and scripting. Overall, I got the impression that numbers was more consumer than professional oriented. Haven't used it recently though.
