In Excel you have to do a bunch of tricks to get quotes around certain fields in the exported CSV (I end up using a custom field format to force quotes, then doing a find and replace in a text editor, as Excel likes to save "Text" as """Text"""), whereas in LibreOffice Calc there's an option to 'Quote all text cells' when exporting the CSV, which is much simpler.
