The market kind of died. Lotus Improv had a slick interface but a sucky semantic model. Freebase was for the Mac, good luck with selling business software on the Mac in the 1990’s. Generally, Excel wiped out the Cambrian Explosion of spreadsheet innovation, and the survivors were Excel add-ins with a separate back end (Essbase, TM/1, which are still around). Microsoft never got into it, acquired their way in, and have never shown an aptitude for this area. I think Gresham’s Law pertains to how PivotTables have taken over the MD functionality for Excel |
