I've heard about these vibe coded apps, but how good are they?GitHub - storytold/gridcraft: GridCraft: an open-source, clean-room spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel-style) in pure Rust. By ArtCraft.

They are reverse engineered, so should be the about the same as the original.
I may have to keep using MS Excel because I don't believe GridCraft would have PowerQuery, PowerPivot, DAX or data models in it, just like any other Excel alternative.
LibreOffice developers stated before they reverse engineer MS Office to be able to use its formats such as docx, but they still suffer issues when the docx was created in MS Word, not LibreOffice Writer.
I think they're good enough, but since they're AIcoded, there's no real expertise behind them. Maybe someday they'll break things who knows? Or maybe not. I'm not sure.

Just to clarify what I meant earlier when I said “no real expertise,” I wasn’t saying the project is trash or that the developer is clueless. I meant the domain expertise may not be there for the specific tool being built. The Photocraft developer is reportedly a software engineer with around 15 years of experience, and I respect that. But being a experienced software engineer is not the same as being an expert in multimedia, image editing, color pipelines, file formats, performance optimization for graphics, etc.
I have read a lot of feed back regarding CraftAI products; I can say approximately 70% of them are not encouraging, which is expected.
I just started using them today, let's see. So far so good with the Word, Excel and PowerPoint alternative on Linux
As were described on Reddit, fast to start, but lack features and buggy.
Would need the original to see if the bug was automatically transferred from the original. Thats what reverse engineering is, you are blindly replicating it.
Most reverse engineered features, such as reverse engineering disaply of docx by LibreOffice, has bugs.
