Spreadsheets sounds fine to me, but I think the most important ones
(libreoffice and org-mode) are already excluded from that module for
obvious reasons ;)
Perhaps an even more generic "office" module might be better, because
then we could at least add some small word processors to it, WDYT?  Or
maybe sc-im already fits as-is into textutils if you squint hard enough
.

I don't think, we should have a tui-apps module.  How would you feel
about a gui-apps module, that has all of GNOME, KDE and some more?  Not
really good, no?  How about cli for everything, that has a CLI? 
Doesn't seem to make much sense.
