The best example by now is the Scheme Constraint Window Manager, SCWM,
by Greg Badros and Maciej Stachowiak. Both frequent this list, so will 
most likely tell you themselves.
Talking about spreadsheets, there are already a few projects that try
to embed a guile interpreter into a spreadsheet. For example there are
some based on Oleo. Another big one is Gnumeric by the FSF-Award Winner
Miguel de Icaza, of Gnome fame. It will possibly integrate an optional
guile interpreter when time has come. 
The main problem of embedding guile is that it occupies the main
function of the program.
