Speaking simply as a "user", this whole issue seems childish, although
I can readily understand the financial side of it. How far will we go 
with "look and feel" crap before we wake up?

My RCA TV has the l&f of all other tv's
My Chrysler has the l&f of a Model T Ford
My Eltech 9870 has the l&f of an IBM PC, which has the l&f of my 
venerable Osborne-1, which........margarine has the l&f of butter,
which has the l&f of pork fat.

So what? How many different formats can you produce for a spreadsheet
and still HAVE a spreadsheet?

It seems to me that Lotus, which, when introduced, had little to offer
but misleading advertising (ever try using 2000 lines on a 256k PC?)
and underpowered software, has decided that legal harrassment is
preferable to r&d... Perhaps the folks who bought Sorcim (SuperCalc)
should sue Lotus for stealing THEIR l&f...sheesh.

Let'em stand or fall in the marketplace by the quality (or, in the case
of Loutus, lack of same) of the application's performance...
