Another alternate is to use Excel.

The downsides being [compared to this one] :

- Excel is more bulky. Takes time to start.

- You are forced to use Excel's editor, and not any editor of your choice.

- Your programs are not portable (guess what VLOOKUP is in the Spanish version)
They are portable, you can open a file made in Spanish Excel in the English Excel and vice-versa and always see VLOOKUP in English Excel.

It's "just" that since the formula language is also localized, you'll need the Excel localization(s) you know to work on it.

I stand corrected!
