@fistfulofdave 😂 does have a Microsoft-y feel now, yeah. And same, I've used it since OpenOffice. But it's such bs that Microsoft wants to charge for Office now, this laptop I've used for 5+ years that I paid for this version of Windows 10 then that was installed on it - no way am I paying Microsoft for Word or Excel. And LibreOffice is so similar, I don't need it for crazy complex things on my personal laptop. Just basic word processing and spreadsheet stuff. So it's nice. But yeah, the UI is very reminiscent hahaha

@jake4480 oh if I’m choosing between MS Office and LibreOffice I’m using the latter. Now I use the Apple Equivalent to these, and for me the interface is much better. Now I can use the Apple suite for work as I can import and export to MS Office, seems LibreOffice only imports or am I missing something?

@fistfulofdave @jake4480 I'm pretty sure LO will export to a version of MS, but maybe not the latest and greatest. Which is fine. It used to have issues with the x format, but that was a while ago...

@fistfulofdave @jake4480 LibreOffice can definitely save in .docx format (and many others). BTW, did you try the tabbed version of the user interface? (Under the menu, View > User Interface). Feel free to also let our @libodesign community know your feedback!

@jake4480 @fistfulofdave Well, to give Microsoft SOME credit, they have contributed some innovations of their own throughout the years. Office was their best and brightest project, hands down. Their desktop design is still in wide use today by a variety of environments...

@wendigo @fistfulofdave yeah, this is true, the window format, that desktop, I mean, it's kinda the standard. Still, I'd like to look a LITTLE different hahaha
