I find myself having to disagree with you. You are posting on
MobileRead. A format designed to be reflowable such as epub, azw3, fb3, etc. is a lot more enjoyable to read on the average mobile device than a page oriented format such as pdf. Unless you are into reading tech manuals (and quite a few of those are now available in epub/mobi/etc.), I find few reasons to suffer the limitations of pdf on a small screen.
As for being unable to accept negative points in calibre? I've noticed quite a few people who have asked for a feature or change in a feature in calibre. Sometimes the change has been made, other times an explanation as to why the change will not be made is supplied. Complaints about bugs in calibre tend to be split into "yes, it's a bug and will be fixed" and "that's not a bug, it's by design". Bugs get a rapid response, design decisions are not up for discussion. If you don't like it, feel free to modify the calibre source and compile your own fork.

Your prejudices are showing again. Over the years, I've seen a lot of PDF files that were garbage supplied by various corporations. PDFs that were a mass of poorly scanned images, PDfs that were great examples of how not to OCR, files that were formatted to be displayed on an A3/ledger sized display, etc. And please note, I am not looking at a pirate pdf produced by someone working out of their parents' basement but pdfs supplied by corporate sources whom one would assume care about producing a decent product.
