I found myself searching for an easy to use command line spreadsheet recently after discovering none of the GUI options have a sane dark color scheme ability. This is not what I'm looking for (as I'm not an emacs person, and I think I'd prefer something more pico-esque for the kind of simple personal finance/BOM documents I work with), but I was surprised to find this is apparently a niche that has been abandoned since the 80's. Anyone know of something I overlooked?

By CLI do you mean ncurses-esque "CLI"? Or something else?

#17These days one can use org-mode tables for quite a bit of spreadsheet stuff.
It might just be me, but i've found manipulating tables and formulae in Org to be nothing but pain. I probably don't understand enough how they work, though (i love and daily use many other Org features though). SES looks pretty fine to me, at first glance!

I used sc for years. Instant results in a terminal, no rodent UI madness.

Why class yourself as "not an Emacs person"? You can use this application without using the rest of Emacs. You'd have to learn something new, but you'd have to learn something new with any new spreadsheet application.
