2) If you create the tables from noco interface you get those fields else not as these fields are abstracted fields on top of your DB fields. 3) not sure what you mean here - noco is known for abstracting these IDs away and are hidden as system fields (see field menu). The role of lookup etc is what you need.
1 & 4 are feature requests pending on us.
If you are looking for free open source version try

It's fairly simple to setup. Please refer to our readme/docs

Its remarkable how kids (4 yo) relate to some facts in these books (like discoveries, slogans, values) and then recall the page/book when they hear a word two in totally unrelated conversations.
Do you have clients using this now ? how are you thinking to land inside semiconductor-ish corporates ?

We just managed to handle all date time and timezone issues which is quite complicated and made a release like a month ago. When we started, we could not have anticipated the difficulties surrounding timezone issues. So we will be getting to Calendar view soon.
I see at the current state there is a massive difference between us and the initial launch of Plato.
We do support multiple databases and there are backlinks available with actual value in a spreadsheet cell (I see that isnt supported in Plato's links). By reading about virtual columns I felt its like a formula column but its not (between I don't see formula isn't supported yet in Plato). Only one of our user had the virtual column request before.
Mainly I see Plato does not YET support automatic Rest APIs for the databases, webhooks, grid view, gallery view, form view, webhooks, upload csv/json/excel, formulas, SQLite, SQL server, docker, executables, open-source and so many other features. Having said that Im sure these will be looked into in coming years.
Really happy to see simple and powerful tools in this space were lacking and we are all trying to fill the big void here.
We do support SQLite as well and it comes with litestream baked in within our docker.
Happy to chat and exchange notes - my email is in the profile.
NocoDB : is a single javascript file.

In noco we've the concept of primary-value (like primary key) and that shows up automatically when you join with other tables (defaults to 'title'). However the primary value column can be changed to any other column too (by hovering on the column name).
Other tools in the list do not give the smart-spreadsheet automatically when you connect to databases. And frankly, these are two different tools we are comparing.
