Same. I have to tinker with it a lot to make it less frustrating to use. I like how customisable it is but man I don't really want to customise everything anymore.

I want a UX that is great out of the box in terms of theming, functionality, and ease of use. I want sane defaults.

I luckily only really use Calc. Ive had no problems with that, but my use cases are fairly primitive probably. What kind of issues did you have while using it and which one Writer/Calc/Draw?

Calc has loads of small papercuts (tiny usability issues) which added together make it quite horrible to use. It's not polished.

What I hate about Calc is how it scrolls horizontally, it can't show half a column, it's the whole column or it doesn't scroll, which is pretty fucking annoying when you have large columns.

What I love about Calc is how it handles data imports. So much better than Excel, which usually turns it into garbage or adds things that aren't there.
