I have used OOo forever... every few years I check out the others (like distros) but it stays on top for me.

LibreOffice is just as good (if not better) tho! Off topic: Would be nice if we could unvote+

Being a Linux application is a prerequisite for being included in the LQ MCA's.

LibreOffice

LibreOffice is what I use and like it.

Meh... just use Emacs....

Curious though, what do Free Office and WPS, in their crippled freeware incantations, bring to the table that LibreOffice and OpenOffice lack?

With OpenOffice.org (now Apache OpenOffice) and see no reason to change now. I tried LibreOffice very briefly and didn't like it nearly as much.

Well, this is kind of lame teaser. Since the difference was reportedly rather dramatic, at least from your assessment, perhaps you could elaborate as to some specifics?

It's always helpful to have constructive feedback about how LibreOffice can be improved. If you figure out what you don't like about the office suite, it would be great to have your help making the next release better!

LibreOffice for me :)Comes with Mint, does what I want it to do. I see no reason to change :)

I use libreoffice on and off, but for most of my document preparation I use latex (and tikz for graphics).

Planning to install LibreOffice latest version - 14.4; they say there have been tons of improvements :)
