agree with your comments. with some decent mulirow/col support it might start being a time saver. It also would be nice to have the option to import data from spreadsheets (apologies if it's already there and I didn't notice).

This is a really, really good idea and I hope to see further development. For the most windows centric n00b, I might suggest this tool. But, overall, I just think it needs more features before I would recommend it. Here are some things I'd like to see supported, in order of importance:
