What could be a more Vim-like experience than feeling like you're constantly hitting a wall when first learning? :)

True, but in my case I think it isn't enough of a Vim-like experience. In that case I would have expected modes I could stay in for longer than a single cell entry.

It would be fine if I'm in insert/edit mode and I can move around entering values in several cells and then press escape to exit that mode.

The reason I think TUIs are attractive to use is because they're more efficient to use. But this one doesn't feel more efficient to use than its GUI counterparts.

My expectation would be that you have to enter insert mode first before you can type, no?

Whilst this is a neat project, it would seem the best way to get a Vim-like spreadsheet would be to build something actually in Vim.
