Nonsense.

Spreadsheets are a class of application that drive users to the limits of
it's capability. It either fills the need, or is used as you described
'nearly all spreadsheets are "small"'.

If it is only good for small stuff, serious users don't/can't use it.

They use Excel.

Would that be Excel 2003 with a 256 column limit? (Excel 2007 is said to have a 16384 column limit. This larger limit is irrelevant if you wish to share spreadsheets with someone who has the older version of Excel, assuming the file format hasn't changed between versions.)
