"KISS" does not mean an insult to anyone. Is it possible that you misunderstand
the meaning of the last "S"? It is aimed at being as intuitive and as simple to
follow and as simple to execute as possible, by anyone.

Every "little" tweak, adjustment, minor "advantage", has a "cost". I happen to
disagree with some of the adjustments and additions in the several requests
about "go to sheet" or related topics that you filed recently, almost in bulk.
If there were unlimited resources, then maybe, perhaps, I would agree.

That does not mean that you should not file the requests. Please allow me to
express my opinion, based on my own user experience, and based on the huge
amount of basic features that are still lacking in Calc.

Additionally, sometimes users file requests because they like certain ways of
doing things, while they are unaware of the existence of other methods of
achieving the same effects.

Since several alternative methods are already available for moving between
worksheets, and the effort to achieve the change between worksheets is not such
a heavy weight task, and the frequency of such task is not that high either
(and if it is, then you can still re-order your worksheets so the effort is
lower), I happen to think that having such an amount of requests, having
developers dedicate time, having code complexity, is not a net positive balance
when evaluated against the amount of other basic tasks and features that are
awaiting (for years), that have no alternative at all.

Please consider that when asking something just to avoid having to use one
extra click once in awhile (i.e. not a task that you perform every couple of
seconds), a lot of resources have to be invested, and then maintained.

If I find my car with only 3 wheels, I would not be worried that much about the
car air freshener at that very same moment.
