Is Calc still useless compared to Excel?
I have never seen this issues, but see people comment it all the time.
What is the issue? I use it almost exclusively for the majority of my spreadsheet work and I rarely have an issue or are required to adjust.
I haven’t had any real issues with opening xlsx files either.
It’s a little different, but works. I was in business operations for the last 20 years and relatively proficient with Excel. I’m retired now but I’m treasurer for a small community non profit organization. I recently switched to Linux desktop and found Calc handled my sheets with pivots etc. just fine. About the only thing I’m missing is End-Arrow to move to the last populated cell in a row or column, but not missing it so much that I’ve tried to figure out how to do it in Calc - yet.
Depends on you’re usecase. I find it handles some of my massive csvs a lot better than excel.

Does it support tables?
Ctrl-Enter to save a cell without leaving it? Ctrl-D so fill down? Double-click cell corner to fill down?
Ctrl-Enter creates a new line. Use Alt-Enter to save without leaving.
Exactly reversed of Excel. I wonder why the did that? I can’t imagine it’s not deliberate.
I know this is a tiny detail but you know how it’s like a tiny splinter you can’t pull out - not a big problem but an ongoing bother.
