I agree, that perfect isn't the enemy of good, but this reasoning has led me to a totally different path: I chose to use good old LibreOffice, missing on those sweet collaborative and online features, for the goal of changing the formats that are used in the business space.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoWhile Microsoft Office is the default, you have zero chance of changing the formats used in the business space. Full stop. However, if you can maintain compatibility, by using an Office-format-first option, and win people over to your open software, the idea of using open software and non-standard formats becomes baseline viable.
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoNo. I managed to run a business since 2007 without sending out a MSOffice file to a business partner even _once_. The dependability on MSO file formats is a myth, perpetuated by those who are too intimidated to fight for the right thing against the indifferent majority. Also. Office-format-first approach is NEVER going to work for alternative products, MS has taken care of it, and will continue to do so.
