Lots of love for LibreOffice.
Its a great opensource project that just keeps chugging along being great.
My team and I use it exclusively in our consultancy. Complex documents and spreadsheets all day long. LO never gets tired.
Without LO id be beholden to Microsoft.
Apache should really release the rights to the name OpenOffice and let LO have it.

Does it still look like it’s from 1998?
It works very well for my light personal needs, but I find the UI to be an eyesore…

To be fair, they’ve had the option to switch to that unusable ribbon trying Microsoft switched to fit a while now.
Thankfully, it’s not the default.

The ribbon UI sure is shit.
LO has a command palette which is handy when looking for obscure functions. Shift esc.

There’s an optional “tabbed interface” in View > User Interface that’s a lot like the Microsoft ribbon. I’ve not had a need for LibreOffice for a while, but it certainly looks a lot less cluttered than the default old-school toolbars.

I like the 1998 version.

If it was good enough for my parents, it’s good enough for me!

The notes include “improved user interface”, so I’m sure whatever issues you have had for years are fixed by that 😅

It has a proper dark mode now. Also there’s different icon themes, I like the Breezy theme. Makes it look early 2010s

Would you prefer something Microsoft has cooked up recently?

Ah yes, the only 2 design options. 1998 or Microsoft.

Looks like 98 SE now!

Office apps looked like that in 1998 because it was an interface that worked. It never should have changed.
