Is There a Future for Spreadsheets?

An open source solution will be great, but that doesn't necessarily seem likely at the moment. Data carpentry also has quite a lot of curriculum around making spread sheets that you won't hate yourself later when you or some one else needs to import them for analysis in another system. So maybe i'm not aiming high enough, but i tend to think some of these perimeters we don't have control over. We should just cope with helping people do this more responsibly and then wean themselves of it.
