Comparing Google Docs to MS Office oh god.
I mean i always found Google Docs and Word Online aweful, mostly I need Docs Offline. There aren't many times where I need them only or need Collaboration and even for that there would be lots of Toolings.
Libre Office should be compared and if you are a Office 2003 User you wouldn't have a hard time to go to LibreOfice.
Also on Mac LibreOffice is really really lightweight compared to MS Office. Okai there are two things missing, which are used a lot. One is Excels preinstalled Table formats (on LibreOffice you need to define all of them by yourself, so no quick design). And second you can't easily migrate Mail Merge Docs from Office to LibreOffice.
- tracker1 11y agoI'm nearly the opposite.. I uninstalled my office 360 version from work when I left the job (validation failed anyway) and only used it for outlook for work anyhow... that said, I needed to update my resume. For that I have Libre Office... that's about all I use it for. For me, google docs works well enough... I use the sheets more than the docs actually, as I keep track of my current bills with it. All of that said, there are a lot of tiny features in MS Office that LO doesn't have.... I don't need them, that doesn't mean that nobody does. I know plenty of people that can't give up their use of excel or word in favor of LO. I also would love to see a fully free/open solution that works as well as Exchange+Outlook ... I've seen lots of alternatives and options, none are nearly as clean or well integrated. And for that matter, most are a bitch to setup/maintain on the server-side of things, or simply aren't actually free, there's usually a critical "plugin" that's only available with a support contract.
