How do they get away with such an obvious trademarked name? Or is Excel considered generic?

MS probably haven't noticed them yet.

What in heck is wrong with the pinch to zoom out on an iPhone on that website?

Same here - Unreadable on safari on iPhone.

Oh cool! I didn't even know they were working on a vanilla rewrite. For those who don't know, the previous versions of JExcel were implemented as jQuery plugins. They worked great, but if you weren't used to jQuery plugins, it made hacking on it a little wonky.

This is highly interesting to me - is there a comparison somewhere between this and Handsontable?

The license is one big difference. JExcel is MIT, while latest versions of Handsontable.... isn't[0].

This is another project.

OK, I've taken the [dupe] marker off. You can repost this if you want, but it would be best to wait a couple weeks to let the hivemind caches clear.

Thanks ;)
