ZDNET的关键外卖
- GridCraft几乎是它打算的MS Excel克隆。
- GridCraft既是免费的，也是开源的。
- 唯一缺少的是一个强大的模板特性。
ArtCraft)，是PhotoCraft(和一些相类似的应用)背后的开发团队，倒置设计了又一款事实上的标准应用：GridCraft，意在模仿Microsoft Excel.
ArtCraft的收藏对于开源和Linux操作系统来说是向前迈出了重要的一步，因为他们所建造的一些应用程序长期以来一直被认为是用户采用Linux的路障。 有了WordCraft、DeckCraft和PDFCraft等应用软件，这些路障就消失了。 时间会告诉我们，但这些应用似乎是一个大进步 Linux和开源对我来说。
还有：我在Linux上试了免费的Adobe Premiere克隆——DaVinci Resolution有竞争

GridCraft会做什么？
你可能认为这只是一个重新命名的MS Excel，它运行在解释或抽象层之上，但情况并非如此。 与其他的ArtCraft应用一样，GridCraft在任何您使用的OS(Linux,FreeBSD,MacOS，或Windows)上都以本土运行。 因为这些应用是用"Rust"写的，它们很快地燃烧。
我在GridCraft打开了非常大的电子表格(一个有1000行)
GridCraft在比Excel更多的平台上工作，并且是免费的，这显然是一种好处，同样重要的是，在开放许可证下它是发布，所以任何人都可以下载代码，编辑，重建，再分配。

有了GridCraft，您可以得到标准的电子表格工作流程，本地的XLSX兼容性，超过500个计算功能，图表和枢轴表，agent-自定义自动化，以及带有即时撤销快照，递增重新计算，虚拟化网格的复制-写入工作簿。
我在Linux、MacOS和Windows测试了GridCraft，因此，如果你习惯于MS Excel的拖累性能，你会愉快地对GridCraft做每件事的速度感到惊讶。 点击发射器，立即打开。
一旦打开，您就可以从头开始创建自己的电子表格。 虽然有三个样本(住房预算、季度销售板和Gradebook)，但缺少模板。 您可以总是创建自己的模板，或者从官方的MS模板下载网站下载一些。
记得如果GridCraft有一个方面与Excel不同，那就是模板。 我还没有找到将电子表格保存为.xltx(template)文件的方法。 希望开发者将来会增加更坚固的模板功能。 同时，您可以将电子表格作为 CSV 文件保存到您创建的模板文件夹中。 虽然是黑客
GridCraft表现如何？
作为I 称，GridCraft并不是Excel的1:1倒置替换。 即使如此，它还是很近的，而且按你预期是可行的。 它提供相同的特性，相同的UI(减去MS品牌)，并进行同样的计算。 我打开了带有中枢表的Excel电子表格，一切都已经就绪并正常运行。
虽然我在几个电子表格上测试过这个应用，因此，我建议总是复制你的作品并使用复制在GridCraft。 不论GridCraft的表现如何好，不要进入应用程序认为它已经做好了生产准备。

因为电子表格有时可以成为您业务或项目的核心，所以您总是想要确保您有一份您的数据副本。 对于你使用的任何应用程序，我都会这么说。
我会用它做电子表格吗？我一定会的事实上，我已经开始采用所有ArtCraft应用软件，FilmCraft是一个例外，但只是因为我投入了这么多时间和金钱给DaVinci Resolution

ZDNET’s key takeaways
- GridCraft is almost the MS Excel clone it intends to be.
- GridCraft is both free and open-source.
- The only thing missing is a strong template feature.
ArtCraft, the development team behind PhotoCraft (and a number of other similar apps) reverse-engineered yet another de facto standard app: GridCraft, meant to mimic Microsoft Excel.
ArtCraft’s collection is an important step forward for open source and the Linux operating system because some of the apps they’ve built have long been considered roadblocks to user adoption of Linux. With apps like WordCraft, DeckCraft, and PDFCraft now available, those roadblocks go away. Time will tell, but these apps seem like a big step forward for Linux and open-source to me.

What does GridCraft do?
You might be thinking that this is simply a rebranded MS Excel that runs on top of an interpretation or abstraction layer, but that is not the case. Like the other ArtCraft apps, GridCraft runs natively on whatever OS you are using (Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS, or Windows). And because these apps were written in Rust, they are blazingly fast.
I’ve opened very large spreadsheets in GridCraft (one with 1,000 rows), and the app never so much as hiccuped.
GridCraft works on more platforms than Excel and is free, which are obvious perks, as is the fact that it’s released under an open license, so anyone can download the code, edit it, rebuild it, and redistribute it.

With GridCraft, you get a standard spreadsheet workflow, native XLSX compatibility, more than 500 calculation functions, charts & pivot tables, agent-native automation, and copy-on-write workbooks with instant undo snapshots, incremental recalculation, and a virtualized grid.
I’ve tested GridCraft on Linux, MacOS, and Windows, and it performs exactly the same and as fast on every platform. So if you’re accustomed to MS Excel’s draggy performance, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with how fast GridCraft does everything. Click on the launcher, and it opens immediately.
Once opened, you can start creating your own spreadsheet from scratch. Although there are three samples (Household Budget, Quarterly Sales Dashboard, and Gradebook), the templates are lacking. You can always create your own templates or download some from the official MS Template download site.
Keep in mind that if there’s one aspect of GridCraft that differs from Excel, it’s templates. I’ve yet to find a way to save a spreadsheet as an .xltx (template) file. Hopefully, the developers will add a more robust template feature in the future. In the meantime, you can always save a spreadsheet as a CSV file into a templates folder you create. It’s a hack, but it works.
How well does GridCraft perform?
As I said, GridCraft is not exactly a 1:1 drop-in replacement for Excel. Even so, it’s pretty close and works as you would expect. It offers the same features, the same UI (minus the MS branding), and does the same calculations. I opened an Excel spreadsheet with a pivot table, and everything was in place and functioning properly.
Although I’ve tested the app on several spreadsheets without a single issue, your spreadsheet could be the one that encounters problems. Because of that, I would suggest always making a copy of your work and using the copy on GridCraft. No matter how well GridCraft performs, do not go into the app thinking it is production-ready.

Because spreadsheets can sometimes be the heart of your business or project, you always want to make sure you have a copy of your data. I would say that for any application you use.
Will I be using it for spreadsheets? You bet I will. In fact, I’ve begun adopting all of the ArtCraft apps to replace other, similar apps I use. The one exception to that is FilmCraft, but only because I’ve invested so much time and money into DaVinci Resolve, and FilmCraft doesn’t quite have the color tools and node trees that I’m used to.
