Am I way off base, or is there a HUGE potential market for a new spreadsheet program compatible with xls/xlsx?

It can't be that hard to make one, can it? (Famous last words, I know...)

I think that's the wrong approach. No matter how hard or easy it is, Microsoft controls it and do you'll be putting huge amounts of effort forever, whereas they can break your stuff with little effort. Losing battle.
