OpenOffice even if it has the worst GUI design I've ever seen. :P They seriously need to make it easier to find in the mess of menus.
However, I haven't tried GNOME Office and might do that, since Gnome is pretty good at keeping their interfaces nice and clean. |
i like AbiWord it is fast and work without any problem with M.S word file .
Koffice is so bad and i did not like it. Open Office is good but it is very slow and make my PC huge for second when i use it & beside it make a lot of problem with M.S word file. |

I'm curious as to why Star Office gets its own slot? I was under the impression that it was merely a branded Open Office. Does it provide some extra proprietary feature?
|
I like Abiword for reading docs as it starts up so fast but for creating a document Open Office Writer seems to be the one I always end up using because I find it easier to insert images and resize/move them around within the doc. So I voted OpenOffice.

I am split between OpenOffice.org and KOffice here. OpenOffice.org can get slow at times on a low memory machine. I use KOffice the most when I need to do something quick and fairly simple (most of the time). I have to use OpenOffice.org when I need to do something for work, (MS Office on 99% machines) I seem to have fewer compatibility problems with it versus KOffice.

I use OO.org on all my platforms. It comes with my distro's when I install them and it works great, so I never bothered looking elsewhere.
|
No one have stated what type of software they use in these Office suites. It seems to me that everybody uses office products just to do word documents.
Again, I use Gnumeric for spreadsheets because it supports all features of doing spreadsheets. OpenOffice lacks the capabilities of graphing. I would use Kexi for database. For presentations, this is a flip of coin. I would use either Kpresenter, OpenOffice Impress, or something else. Quote:

-OOwriter has better MSoffice support -In Gnome, there's no alternative to Impress But I never really though about using just gnumeric. I'll admit I tried it out a couple times and liked it. Hrm, I'm going to go check on that. |
What Office Suite?
There's really not much choice beside OpenOffice.org. I get used to it, even start to like a few things, but Corel would absolutely make my day if good old WordPerfect would go Linux. I know, it's closed source, but it did keep me tied to DOS/Windoze for a dozen years.

OpenOffice.org. This puppy was the final app to move me to Debian full time.
|
For me it would be the ibm lotus symphony - of course with 1G ram or more :D - and a fast prcessor as well, but aside of thet it it a real competitor to msoffice 2k7 - much bether gui design than open office.
I admit, that ooo is in productional state, and symphony is still an early beta, byt im my opinion, the symphony was the most innovative suite in the category for 2007. |
Love OO.org! Can be installed on both Linux and windoz so I can share docs in the native format.
