I would make a difference between "design" and "a lot of small and convenient functionalities that makes your life easier".

People prefer gsheet to calc not because of one big missing functionality, because as you say, you can always find a way. It's more that excel/gsheet makes your life way easier, and saves you a lot of time.

I use both gsheet (for work) and calc (for personal stuff). I really want to give calc a chance so I accept the excess time it takes me to use it, but I understand that some people don't. And I would not say that it's related to "feelings", it's more a problem of "ease of use" and "doing things fast".
