I know. The point though is, there are projects that have countless hours of work in them and sometimes even work together with access - not only would you need to invest time to redo those, you'd also have to learn python... Which is most often the argument for a switch to Libre falls on its face. I don't like it, and I don't agree with that, but it is what I am confronted with nearly every day over countless different companies...

Agree, grip of the lock-in is sitting tight .. But as you mentioned, its less the lack of software than it is path dependencies.
