Two of the big deficiencies I've no{ed are lack of a stand-alone spreadsheet and lack of a powerful (i.e. dbase-like) data base. I'm interested in finding out what users think is the most glaring deficiency or perhaps which of the above would be the one they'd most likely HAVE to add to their collection if one were offered on the market. If I've left out some other category then mention that too but I'm mainly interested in hearing what people would think about the above two. On a related note, for each of the above two applications, what features do you think are needed that can't be had elsewhere (i.e. AppleWorks GS for example)?
