I've had a discussion with someone recently with the standpoint that libreoffice is completely unusable because it is clunky and functionality is impossible to find. Even with a half hearted ribbon copy I think office remains one of the most controverse piece of software out there....

I hope Calligra Words gets something like this too

right, opening a 60mb excel file is impossible with calc.
And you cant even select a column and press ctl+f to search only your selected range

The files I deal with are less than 5mb in size. Still they have a few Workbooks 10k of data and a few charts. Still slow like hell. Scrolling is nearly inpossible.
