Missing features:
Calc:
*Good charting. Latest improvements are leaps ahead of the original, but try making scatter plots with >3000 points. It insists on automatic previews, which usually screw up. Igor Pro (proprietary) does a good job of charting this type of data
*Non-linear newton-raphson solver -- a boon to every engineer. Ever.
Impress:
*Proper handling or listing of available video & audio codecs.
*Proper master frame editing - - the current workflow is not good -- try playing with multiple master slides
*RGB editable colours, rather than making a colour in the configuration menu and then trying to use it
*Insert multiple images, insert image via drag & drop
*Improved crop & resize functions. Ability to choose resize functionality
*Bring in code from Sun presentation slideshow minimiser into core OOO. Too often one sees 10 slide presentations > 10MB, which aim to be presetned in 1024*768 on a digital projector
*Font handling between bullet points -- bullet points contiunally try to revert to numbered, or different size bullet points
*Font handling on Mac -- equations are broken for many installs (see google cache of equations for broken examples - -you see a funny glyph rather than actual equation)
Writer:
*Forbid locale changes in text -- enUK spelling continually tries to revert to en:US, particualrly when cutting & pasting
General:
*Better SVG handling
Things OOO does way better than anyone else:
*Format
