I agree. I use it at the office for time registration and invoicing. At home for the Taekwon-do club membership.
It's actually marvelous in combination with postgresql SDBC driver. And actually useful as it is so easy to get your data to Calc, more useful then I remember Access. It always hurts a bit when people who don't use databases say that Base is not good, databases are not useful etc. I know a lot of people that never use a spreadsheet either. But I think LO wouldn't be complete with Calc or Base. My experience: de builtin hsql backend was very slow last time I tried, sqlite unusefull, mysql OK but I couldn't find anything like PG Admin to administer it. So, if you have the choice, go for postgresql.
