Nobody with a job uses LibreOffice
how does it feel that your low quality freetard software will never get popular?
>>51775521
you know, in fact it feels great to know my rare software won't get popular as all the popular one is shit or becomes shit if it wasn't yet

Using the popular normie frog while denouncing mainstream garbage
Nothing that I didn't expect

You can buy Office 2010 keys on the internet for literally like 5 dollars and be covered until at least 2020. Quit being underage and using shitty "free alternatives"

MS Office is the pretty much the only proprietary software that I would consider paying for, if I did not already have a pirated copy. Seriously is creating a competent word processing program really that difficult, freetard developers?
>>51775882
Define "competent"
>>51775882
LibreOffice is completely fine.
The problem stems from MS using their own own proprietary file formats, and not adhering correctly to the OpenDocument standards for .od* files, so when people pass documents between the two programs shit breaks.
>doesn't adhere to standards for document files
>is a bloated clusterfuck so it can offer you cloud shit you'll never use because you already use some shitty botnet cloud storage to do the same thing
>Is constantly redesigned for a bigger price tag because it either sucks or MS needs money between OS releases

What is wrong with people
Fuck even Kingsoft chinese botnet is more competent

The only problem with Libre Office is the compatibility with Office files, if that would only improve, I wouldn't mind using it everyday.
>have to pirate
I only use Linux to watch Animu :3

>muh standards
Protip: If the most popular software is not abiding by the "standards" then they have set their own standard that the majority of people will end up using.
>use PDF
>choice of office suite of me and people I work with is never an issue
OP confirmed indian

Standards are set to move forward software and filetypes in accordance with new technologies and the ability for various non-affiliated developers to uphold them.
This is contrary to the interests of a megacorporation that would rather monopolize the office digital space because they want a pretty shekel.

LibreOffice and Thunderbird will soon join forces

>M$ office
>competent
I'd rather use google docs or pages or keynote or TeX before using office desu senpai
>Documents
LaTeX. I'll only use something else if it's a collaborative project with people using different software.
>Spreadsheets
Excel I find does a number of things more easily than Calc. In my case it seems that Calc really wants to make it difficult to change elements on a graph after it's been made. I've read consistently that Excel also has a much larger library of things it can do via macros/scripting, but I have yet to do something that calls for me actually doing that.
>Presentations
I usually send presentations to people, which dictates that I use Powerpoint since everyone else uses Powerpoint. I've only had the chance to really try Impress once, and ended up dropping it since the presentation I was making called for having text over an image, which prompted me to want to have the text be outlined for the sake of legibility. Upon looking up a solution to this problem, I found that the answer was "Impress doesn't have this function, just draw the lines manually around each letter. Question Answered™".
