I agree that hardcore spreadsheet users tend to care more about accuracy, robustness, recalc speed, and programmability than fancy formatting features and that sort of thing.
A realistic project might have dozens of spreadsheets each containing thousands of rows of a couple dozen columns each. Judging computation speed by "eyeballing" relative performance on a very simple test is a reasonable place to start, but it is not a serious comparison.
Not that this review isn't worthwhile. It is, but it's like comparing a trio of new cars based on dashboard layouts and cabin features.
