Is there any open source stand alone spreadsheet available for Mac OS X? I have iWork so I am looking for spreadsheet application only. OpenOffice have spreadsheet app but it comes as bundled with other apps.

There's Gnumeric as part of GNOME Office, but like OpenOffice.org, it doesn't come in an OS X-native version.

If you refuse to have excess functionality, then anything on the market is wrong for you.
Is it startup speed, specific lacking features, memory use, UI deficiencies, or what that turns you off about the OO.o and NeoOffice options? I have also heard good things about Gnumeric. |

It is not lack of features, speed etc that turns me off about OpenOffice.org. I mean I already have the Pages and Keynote so why I put another Word Processor or presentation app on my system. The only thing missing is spreadsheet so I thought to ask if there is any Open Source spreadsheet available that i can use.

Well, seems to me they're usually bundled for a reason; one seldomly makes a spreadsheet all on its own; it's usually part of a bigger document, and thus need to integrate with word processing, etc.
Wouldn't hurt to have OO or Neo; you could just use iWork all you like and if there's any snafu or quirks, you can run over to OO/Neo to fix it up and still come out with a great spreadsheet.s |

Massively integrated monolithic application suites are the devil's work. They close you into a specific workflow, and specific toolset. Witness the problems with importing basic graphics into PowerPoint from other tools... I've NEVER gotten it to work reliably. They want you to do *EVERYTHING* within Office, which sucks. I'm with the original poster - give me a good solid standalone app with rich abilities to pass data back and forth *ANY* day. ie, Pages, Keynote, OmniGraffle, etc, etc. |

In fact, I can't recall ever integrating a spreadsheet into a word processing document...
