As I've written more times, I consider the 3+1 a good piece of SW.
I've studied it a bit, and more the 3+1 EXTRA, when I've fixed the Error Color bug, and put some new commands (hello JamesC !).
Maybe one doesn't like the WP being limited (the saved files are a seq of screen codes), but as Chiken said, it had to be reduced. The 99 lines max is a problem of memory size, not of SW. Browse a look at the complete version: you'll find even a WYSIWYG feature!
(P.S. The very good SCRIPT+ is 32K long).
But the best part is the spreadsheet. It, for example, offers some features that even Excel has not (I'm thinking to the command able to set a cell with result of a condition formula residing in another cell).
At time I worked "seriously" with the 3+1 spreadsheet. I never had a crash or a calcolus error. Only the memory limit of the Plus4 (memory full) forced me to pass to a PC spreadsheet.
Then my respect to the authors
