- k__ 10y agoI understand that some software really sucks. For exmple word processors, I really hate them with all my heart, but when getting a degree, I had to write much stuff. So I sat down and learned the core functions of Libre Office Writer and it made my life better. Even my profs. were amazed how good my papers looked. Not because they were really good, but because none of my fellow computer science students bothered to learn the software and make them look good.
- mnw21cam 10y agoYou wrote a scientific paper in LibreOffice? Not LaTeX?
- k__ 10y agoI thought it would take too long to learn latex. Writer had a nice DSL for math terms, so I had everything I need.
- mnw21cam 10y ago(Yeah, alright, I have written a scientific paper in LibreOffice as well. But it was one that was started by someone else, I just finished it. And I didn't inhale.)
