I ruminated about something like this to myself not long ago.

In a sense, what you say baffles me. And what I mean by that is, what 
occurred to me was, in this day of Google Drive / Apps / Docs / 
{whatever} office suite, it's a wonder LibreOffice hasn't also had a 
morphed offering.

Then (thinking) vis a vis MS and local / web 'office' 'suite', is LO not 
now 'far behind the times'?

Take in your note now, too, and ... whither LibreOffice?

LO has since gained some Visio like features - mind you Visio is now 
quite the ecosystem in its own right. LO has an 'Access' equivalent, 
sort of, but with the goofy native DB ... well, I can appreciate what 
you say.
