I have a pretty sizable library of e-books (comics, magazines, regular books, PDFs, papers, etc.). The way I manage, organize, and read them is very personal to my workflows and interests. As a result I've pulled together a hodge-podge of different tools to accomplish what I want, and it works very well for me.
Calibre is not one of those tools.
However, to be fair, I have the feeling that Calibre is mostly the result of Kovid Goyal's version of what I do, but he decided to write some software to do it back when there were fewer choices. As a result, it's highly personal to his interests and workflow, and lots of the complaints about it are really just a result of other people wanting to do things their own highly personal way and running into an impedance mismatch with Goyal's way, just like they'd run into one with how I do things.
It's clear that there's huge demand for ebook management software, but there's no comprehensive "Plex" for ebooks, and as a result you end up having to strap together your own stuff to get it working.
