It's useful for "touch up" of a few attributes, but not for the broad 
changes you want. The spreadsheet approach really doesn't scale well 
anyway. If you have 300 bypass capacitors in a project, it's much more 
efficient to have a "heavy" project-specific bypass capacitor symbol 
with all of the necessary attributes inside it. Then, to change your 
bypass capacitor selection, you need only edit that one symbol rather 
than 300 instances

Not true with gattrib_csv.  All 300 instances are grouped together on 
one line if all their properties are the same.  One edit and an import 
and then all 300 have been updated.  gattrib_csv scales very nicely to 
large projects.
