   Except Access had a nice WYSIWYG form builder.

   Libre had that for AWHILE ... but not so much anymore.
   It's 'database' is mostly a limited front-end for a
   spreadsheet.

   As for the 'limits' of Access ... I developed a few
   DBs using it over the years and it was quite capable.
   You DO have to write a bit of code to reach those
   capabilities however.
