I can understand why is more flexible but not the simplistic/complex thing. I think that saying that something is a "simplistic tool" is a good way to confuse people, especially those who has a little or zero experience with databases. I think is better to say something like "This is the LibreOffice tool for databases. If you see that your needs can be satisfied with it, please, look for a more sophisticated tool like this, or this" and put links below about our project and other common front-ends and databases. Don't forget to include library's application, because they are a good bunch people in need of databases and they're important! :-))
