Calc crashes all the bloody time. want to drag a worksheet tab? crash. want to drag a field to a pivot table column? crash. want to copy a bit of a formula? crash. want to exhale? crash.
plus it has no support for tables, xlookup, or power query. it's like an unstable version of excel from 1997.
when it comes to spreadsheets, excel is the best in twrms of stability and features and google sheets is next. calc is a distant third.
whatever they have to replace word, too, pales in comparison because it's so much more finicky to manage styles and formatting. but it's apple's Pages that's surprisingly the best--most festure-packed-- word processing application.
their powerpoint replacement is functional but doesn't contain all the features of ms powerpoint.
