Not that I want to put a downer on your suggestion, but have you
actually tried installing and running Kexi on Windows and Mac ?

On the Mac, you have to download and install the kde environment via
macports or fink and then compile and install the koffice port from
that...simplicity is not the word here, not to mention all the cruft
that you end up putting on your system for no apparently good reason.
