WingZ

Is anyone who bought WingZ still using it? Or have we all drifted back to 
Excel/ Cricket Graph/ other graphing programs?

I find the graphics in WingZ a pain: not easy to set defaults - cannot 
double click on most chart items to change them - too many menus - too many 
hierarchical menus - to many 'dividing line' in the menus - too few 
'graphic menus' a.k.a. excel's or cricket graph's plot type menus - version 
1.1 takes more RAM than version 1 
All in all, a program fro which I paid over $200 for (including the 
upgrade) since I thought that anything would be better than Excel, is 
worse than Excel.

Where is a 'scientific spreadsheet'?
