I also enjoy using this suite, but I agree with the comments coming here. 
Linear regression is essential, and no viewable parameters on that regression is
unacceptable.

What makes it worse is that you cannot even identify the method of regression. 
You COULD use the spreadsheet functions to create an equation of best-fit, but
then you are hard pressed to add it as another data series.  While being a bit
cumbersome and onerous for the point-and-click crowd, it at least gives you
flexibility.  At this point, I cannot even find a way to insert a second series
into the chart.

I was doing labs in spreadsheets for Physics over 10 years ago now.  At the
time, we used Quattro Pro.. for DOS.  While there weren't "Wizards" back then,
at least the tool was generic enough to allow us to do just about anything we
needed, and a lot more than any spreadsheet these days does.

Last point on this issue is that while this Issue was first raised here in 2002,
there was an earlier reference on mailing.comp.open-office which received the
same "we're redesigning the chart module" response:

Over 4 years and no activity?  A competitor could come and go in that amount of
time.
