VisiCalc was the first electronic spreadsheet program, designed in 1978 and launched in 1979 on an Apple computer, so it would have been the initial leader. Since then many other spreadsheet programs have come, with Lotus 123 being the big one of the early 1980s and from the mid 1980s to the present day, Excel has been the main one.
