“Better” is entirely subjective, complexity can provide improved power for advanced users but make it more difficult for new / average users by compartmenting the “happy path” regular actions into multiple composable disconnected features. For example, LibreOffice doesn’t have the “Format as Table” feature from Excel, which in a single action combines adding sorting arrows along with a color scheme on a selected range of grouped cells. The range of grouped cells and the background colors in the Excel version auto-expand as new columns or rows are added. Sure, I could press 3-4 different hotkeys and manually update all of this in a sequence for LibreOffice Calc each time I modify the group of cells, but ideally the software would have some single unified action to not make me need to do that without resorting to creating custom possibly flaky macros. |
