Office Suite of the Year
Which Office suite do you prefer?
--jeremy |
LibreOffice.
Had been waiting for years for stability improvements to the pivot table functionality in OpenOffice. Improved within 2 months in LibreOffice :) |
Libre Office works good, but not perfect with Russian and other Cyrillic based languages. OOO does it now better.
|
LibreOffice, it just works.
|
Libreoffice - it's not perfect though.
|
Another one for LibreOffice (thanks to oracle...)
|
Libreoffice ftw!
Openoffice is too buggy and slow.. OOo Impress takes nearly 6 times more system resources as LibreOffice Impress does.. For the same presentation.. I had very limited success putting together a presentation with more than 10 slides with graphics and pictures. Calc and Writer are better but overall I prefer LO. |
Libreoffice for ever....!!!!! :)
|
Open office, Using it for a long time !
|
Hi,
LibreOffice here too. Kind regards, Eric |
i use open office and to be honest i never bothered trying any of the rest, however i will try which ever office suit gets the highest count.
|
Abiword and gnumeric for low powered boxes.
|
I switched from Open Office to Libre a little while back - it's good!
|
I'm voting for LibreOffice.
|
OpenOffice.org for me. Didn't like LibreOffice.
|
...is OpenOffice still out there???

I'm interested in any thoughts that OOo is better than LibO. I haven't heard of any reasons. And I will be very interested if anyone votes for Go-oo as better than LibO, because LibO really supersedes that. |
Long time using OpenOffice, which then upgraded/updated into LibreOffice, never bothered trying any of the rest.
When it ain't broke don't fix it ! OK few hiccups when change occurred all soon enough resolved, with no problems for what am doing. Admit doing a lot less now than previously. Earlier used LibreOffice with MySQL a lot, though not recently, almost miss it. |
Thanks sycamorex...my distro retired it in favor of libre, always wonderd why (somehow)...not that libre is bad, but I liked OpenOffice.
The downloads are RPM or DEB only :( - I need a simple tarball. Maybe I'll compile the thing from scratch..., eh, why not, this IS Linux, after all... |

I vote none of the above. OOO and Libreoffice are slow and clunky. Gnome office isn't functional enough for my needs. Koffice is large, clunky, slow, AND ugly. Go-oo and Lotus Symphony aren't in almost any repositories, so just more hassle than they're worth IMO.

Oddly, I find LibO more stable. And it incorporated a number of fixes and improvements almost straight away that weren't even in Go-oo. I get a very strong feeling that the LibreOffice dev community is building good things and the OpenOffice developers are not. |
What about Siag?
Its super lightweight, and light on extraneous features, also comes with a file manager. It's very nice on small systems, even got it running on a pure darwin machine. |
The 'Office Suite' category doesn't allow to choose 'LyX', a document editor, which is an excellent programme with results far superior to those of LibreOffice.

We used to break the suites out into individual categories and stopped a few years back. We have no plans to move back in that direction at this time.

Libre Office
|
I'm using LibreOffice to edit my chorus' weekly internal newsletter ... works great.
|
LibreOffice
Clear winner. Stock OpenOffice is nice too.
|
I'm sorry to say but libre office is horrible, I'm sorry I should not say like but its really bad...the best was openoffice and others can't be better than openoffice
|
Using Abiword (not an office thing) and OpenOffice.org.
OpenOffice.org for making zines, mostly. I think I'll move to Scribus (not an office suite) for that when the zine I'm/we're working on is published, for next issue. Didn't try LibreOffice... Well, in fact I did, but not long enough to build an opinion! Though I voted LibreOffice by error :/ |
Official statement: "Going forward, the Go-oo project will be discontinued in favor of LibreOffice." So that's the end of that.
Two missing candidates: Calligra and Siag (I love the name Pathetic Writer!) |
Yeah, StarOffice was good stuff, when it was what it was. Sun improved upon that with the transmutation into OpenOffice - a name I think most of us would like to use for LibreOffice but Larry Ellison hasn't turned over the name [yet].
OxygenOffice was a nice augmentation to OOo, which had relatively stalled and become stagnate even before EllisonCo bought Sun and killed it off (Say what you want but OOo is dead IMNSHO), but now LibreOffice is just the way to go - even if we often still make the mistake of referring to it as OpenOffice. Yah, besides Koffice which has it's uses and supporters, my choice was LibreOffice. LibreOffice LibreOffice LibreOffice I hope that helps :) Kindest regards, . |
LibreOffice (I need one post to fully activate my profile)
|
LibreOffice. I like OpenOffice too and it works all the same but I'm not as big of an "Office" guy anymore.
|
LibreOffice, though lately it is quite slow, even on my quite powerful machine. I read about some jre issues, but I didn't solve my problem yet.
|
My use of 'Office Suites' pretty much boils down to something to read/edit documents created by lamers using M$ Orifice. OO.org is a dead end thanks to Scarey Larry and he had to give to ASF in last ditch effort to save face. Meanwhile, mega developer talent has defected to the new and truly free king, LibreOffice, which gets my vote.
|
All the active office suites that are made or usable in linux:
Calligra Suite Feng Office Community Edition Google Apps IBM Lotus Symphony KOffice LibreOffice OpenOffice.org ShareOffice SoftMaker Office StarOffice ThinkFree Office Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware ZCubes Zoho |
Libre Office the best!
|
I voted for Openoffice.org, because it worked well. However, I currently have Lyx which is the longest running Word Processor on Linux which works on multiple desktops, paired with Gnumeric. Perhaps a combo of Lyx, Gnumeric, and Gimp could be referred to as "Classic Office".
|
LibreOffice here as well.
