I find Impress to be very difficult to work with, compared to
PowerPoint.  But the most recent thing that drove me up the wall
was Excel's inability to display a bar graph with non-overlapping
bars for a primary and secondary axis, so I can display data like

a	2	0.1
b	3	0.3
c	5	0.2

in a sane way.  Libreoffice Calc can actually do this.
