@libreoffice love libreoffice! Totally replaced Microsoft office for me with no issues!

@libreoffice LibreOffice is excellent. Been using it for years and recommending it to all that are thinking of getting MS Office.

@libreoffice We still see people recommending Excel and throwing around those "Excel tools" (aka spreadsheets with some formulas).

Please stop endorsing spreadsheet apps for anything else than spreadsheets. Better use applications for numerical computations like #NumeRe or #R, which produce understandable, mainainable and debuggable solutions.

@libreoffice I just bought Linux Magazine (February issue I think) and they highlight Open Office as a lighter alternative to Libre Office. I was aghast.

@libreoffice It's sad what happened to it. I remember using version 1.0

@libreoffice

I feel so guilty downvoting OpenOffice. It was a good friend, the people were ace, and for a while it had the only decent EPUB exporter plugin. I wrote my first book on it.

But, time has gone under that bridge. Alas.

I suspect there have been some recommendations for openDesk recently, which for some reason is being confused with openoffice.

@libreoffice what ever happened to that mascot competition? did you ever end up adopting the winner or no?

@libreoffice so I guess Star Office is out of the question.

@libreoffice

I recommend LIBREOFFICE to everyone. Very regular updates and it's been flawless.

I can open ANY file from office and save and send back in the same format.

And it's FREE.

There is no reason for 99.9% of users to be paying for M$ Office.

@libreoffice what about star office? ;/

@libreoffice Gotta admit, OpenOffice is still in my heart because I used it back when it was version 1.1.0.
Pure nostalgia, but LibreOffice doesn't evoke such a warm feeling of "Linux back then".
On the other hand, LibreOffice is always reliable and stable.

@libreoffice Will OpenOffice still work even if there's not gonna be any updates anymore?

@libreoffice I was amused to get a "new" computer at work last December, and the system image included an OpenOffice install from 2019. I replaced that one pretty quickly. 😛

@libreoffice Wow I thought OpenOffice had been shelved in favour of LibreOffice years ago, I didn't know it was still available

@libreoffice thanks for the info...

@libreoffice I don't understand the openoffice project.

They claim to maintain it, and if you look at the repository, there are updates all the time, but pretty much every single one of them are reformatting, some typo fixes, changes to formatting of documentation, etc.

You have to scroll way down before you find a single fix that actually changes the code.

https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commits/trunk/

Just read the commits. It's so very strange.

Why are hey even spending the time doing this? The only explanation I have is that they have some contract where someone is paying them money for it to be updated, and they do the absolute bare minimum to avoid breaking the contract.

This, unfortunately, has had an extremely harmful effect on the open source community, who are best represented by libreoffice here.

@libreoffice how about a module that replaces the Outlook functionality (multi-service mail organizer)?

It is the one thing that prevents me from ditching Windows altogether. And no, Thunderbird does not meet my requirements

@libreoffice Open Office was terminated by Oracle. Never understood why.

@libreoffice Yeah, this toot was just that push needed to switch.

@libreoffice
Shame on the #apachefoundation for not being more honest. #openoffice should be archived and tell users about other safer/better options.
