Interestingly enough, Microsoft beat 1-2-3 by noticing that *most* people 
didn't use the spreadsheet for calculations. They used it as a list editor. 
MS added a whole bunch of list-manipulation operations, while 1-2-3 added a 
whole bunch of sophisticated math stuff, and Excel won.

(Yes, yes, flame on for MS killing -1-2-3 with anticompetitiveness. That 
isn't the point I'm making, even if it's true.)
