    It lacks good form customization. Every form is just a straight vertical list of your fields.

    This app is straight forward and allows you to get a task done immediately. What it lacks in import export power this app makes up for in pure function.

    Libre Office is far more complicated than Filemaker to use; much more like Access. At present, in our universe, Filemaker corners the market as the only highly-powerful-yet-easy-to-use database. Provue's Panorama is the only other contender in the Filemaker Pro arena.
