My data table serves the only purpose of importing/exporting CSV files, but
not much else, whereas Skeleton is a proper spreadsheet, it supports
functions, and is well integrated with etoys via drag and drop of tiles.

I agree, but since my table is not integrated anyway, I vote for integrating
Skeleton which is much better than what I did. And if we want the I/O of csv
files, I could find the way of adapting Skeleton. It shouldn't be that
difficult, I suppose.

Cheers,
Richo
