just look at google spreadsheets and you'll see how sub-optimal it is.
How is it sub-optimal?
One of my jobs is to make a UI that gets this right, so I'd appreciate hearing what you (or anybody) find deficient in the way online spreadsheets do this.
excel is the reference. it is so ridiculously optimized, it is not even funny.
outside of spreadsheets, take the itunes simple list view as a baseline. the 'simple' things are important. double-clicking the column border resizes the column to fit the longest text, etc.
