Glade [glade.gnome.org] Glade is a free user interface builder for GTK+ and GNOME. It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
...
Glade can produce C source code itself. C++, Ada95, Python & Perl support is also available, via external tools which process the XML interface description files output by Glade (see the Links page). |

Glade is really easy to use, but it is also very robust. The famous Xfce [xfce.org] desktop was created with it. And... abs spreadsheet [ping.be]
* abs is a stand alone state of the art spreadsheet designed to run on any UNIX platform.
* abs comes with the ABVisual macro language (compatible with Microsoft Visual Basic).
* abs can exchange data with Microsoft Excel through Visual Basic. All data, formats, drawings, controls and charts are exportable to Microsoft Excel.
* abs is distributed with source code under General Public License.
* abs is under development but already stable enough to be used. |

Yes Abs is another spreadsheet program, but Abs is cool because it is a powerful spreadsheet and yet it is very compact -- less than a third the size of Gnumeric.
Despite it's small size, Abs is powerful and easy to use -- it is perfect for older systems. I discovered it while searching for a compact spreadsheet application for my mini live-CD project.
For comparison sake here is the view from TOP:

>Glade can produce C source code itself. C++, Ada95, Python & Perl Very cool. Wish it were available for Winders. There was one a few months ago, that I used for TK that was excellent (I believe it was Idiscovery?).
