  And huge. And bloated, if you only need simple functionality.

    Abiword is pretty nice and not too bloated from what I remember

  Except it will nuke .docx formatting. Same in reverse.
  I make templates for my clients and I always tell them not to open and save in any other client other than OpenOffice.
  Even Libre does nuke some parts to some extend…

    It’s not that bad and always improving. I inter operate the two every day.

    OpenOffice is a dead project.

      Every time I open anything open office in Word everything is scattered as is usally with the Word meme when moving a picture 2mm.

      Libre aint much better. Also I prefer the OpenOffice design. Libre might be more modern and that’s usually what I prefer but I feel like OO is more efficient with it’s menu.

      Can’t beat the menu ribbon from Word/Office though.

        Have you tried the Libreoffice ribbon menu?

  You’re assuming everyone is a power user. There will be thousands of people who won’t have an alternative and think that paying for word is the only option
