Teapot is pretty great, it's too bad there is close to zero room for real innovation in the spreadsheet domain. For the most part if it's not spreadsheeting how prophet Dan Bricklin envisioned, people don't want it.

Actually... on that note I realized have never tried lotus improv.

One issue is that this is hard to do while still retaining backwards compatibility. Lotus Improv basically gave you no other choice, something that Excel The Next Version can't do. And I doubt that we're getting a third MS app, no Multiplan -> Excel -> NewSpreadsheetThingProbablyCalledCopilotAnyway.
I know a lot of people that don't even use Excel's tables, introduced almost 20 years ago. But instead they painstakingly recreate most of its built-in features. It's just an easy shortcut away, and has plenty of GUI support hidden in the ribbon morass, but it's not the default state…

I found a copy of the win3.1 version here. https://archive.org/details/lotus-improv-2.0-for-windows-2.0...
But my plan is to go for the full nerd experiance and see if I can get the nextstep version to work. https://winworldpc.com/download/7c521434-e280-a0e2-82ac-11c3...
Which will require a NeXT machine emulator https://previous.nextcommunity.net/
Wish me luck.
