                             For one thing, I use a number of spreadsheets
  in different folders, with a couple of master sheets that are linked to
  the scattered detail sheets.  As near as I can tell, you can't link
  spreadsheets at all in Wingz.

 It may not be exactly what you want, but any expression may refer to
 the value of a cell in any other open spreadsheet, so that "Sales:C20"
 is that cell in the sheet named Sales. The catch is that the other sheets
 have to be open at the same time; Wingz won't go get them.
 But if a group was always used together you could start work by dragging
 a Finder rectangle around them and double-clicking...

Not a solution: remember my sheets are in different folders, and you can't
do that trick across folders.  Besides, there's quite a few of them
scattered about, and the whole reason this looks like a useful thing to do is
that I don't have to think about where the other sheets are or what they
are unless I'm working with their data.  Also, where is this documented?
I can't find linking in the index, and I'm not sure what else to look for.

  The other thing is that some of my spreadsheets are HUGE.  Of course,
  Wingz can handle the size, but when I'm in the midst of the sheet, I
  can't see the row and column heads.  In Excel, I handle this by splitting
  the window.  I can't see a way to do that in Wingz.

 Again it's not exactly the same thing, but you can open multiple windows
 onto any sheet and drag and resize them, so you could open a window
 showing just column heads and then overlap it with a window in which
 you scroll to the detail rows.  (And other windows on other sections
 of your HUGE sheet, in sizes & shapes as you want...)

Oh.  I didn't try that.  It still sounds like an awkward solution, though,
because the headings won't scroll as I navigate in the "entry" window.
Plus, I would need two windows of headings so that I could navigate
independently along both margins.  The size of the toolbox means this would
cost a lot of real estate, but I do have a 19" monitor, so it sort of fits.
Overall, it's a possible kludge.

Without a solution to the first problem, though, I'm afraid Wingz goes on
the shelf for now.
