It's my understanding that the CP/M mode of the C128 was very under-utilized
and under-appreciated.

I had a rather good accounting program that just happened to be a full-fledged
database program as well.  I thought it was called "TAS: The Accounting
Solution", but I just looked that up and there still is a "TAS: The Accounting
Solution" and all they mentioned there was DOS so it might have been something
else.  It was definitely CP/M; I remember that it came on Kaypro formatted
disks and the Commodore 1571 drive read them with no problem.  I also learned
dBase II on the C128 in CP/M mode.

I had a fairly decent little collection of CP/M software for my C128, at one
time....
