I dunno, I think they just took word 98 and changed the name, I mean it looks the same. It doesn't even have a ribbon. How am I supposed to find the icons I use to do things without it? There's some menus but they're full of text and kinda scary to be honest.
- phre4k 6y agoThe tabbed ribbons are called Notebookbar in LibreOffice.
- grawprog 6y agoNotebookbar?? Now that's a silly name isn't it? Not at all catchy like 'ribbon'. Ribbon just rolls off your tongue. Just how am I supposed to explain to grandma what a notebookbar is?? I mean just look at these instructions https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Using_the_notebook_bar/vi https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Using_the_notebook_bar/v... I can't make heads or tails of this...first I gotta switch layouts?? Then I gotta go to view and turn notebook bar mode on? Then i've gotta choose between tabbed, contextual groups or contextual single bar...nope no siree this is why piracy's just not for me. These knockoffs are always so complicated, why can't they be simple like the official certified word? And shiny and jazzy lookin'? I know ya get what ya pay for, but how hard would it be to slap some bezels and rounded edges on there? Maybe some 3d transitions?
- rbrtl 6y agoWell it's open source, so if there are features you want you could contribute to the project. And being open source, the project won't have the same luxuries in terms of user-testing and iterative improvement of things as trivial as a 'shiny' UI. Again, if you have the time, you could help them out.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoIt only takes a few minutes of use and comparison to understand that today's LibreOffice doesn't even come close to touching the level of polish and user-friendliness of Word 98 (Mac) or Word 97 (Windows).
- ImprovedSilence 6y agoyeah but their spreadsheet blows the pants off of whatever garbage macOS trys to pass off as an Excel replacement.
- karoofish 6y agomacOS, being an operating system does not have spreadsheet. If you looking for a spreadsheet on macOS, Microsoft Office is available and provides Excel.

- vetinari 6y agoTo be fair, Numbers/Pages/Keynote, as well as Garageband and iMovie are not a part of macOS. Yes, they come preinstalled with a new Mac, but if you do a clean installaction, they will be missing. You will have to reinstall them from App Store.
- stOneskull 6y agothe libreoffice spreadsheet is very good. i think it's psychic sometimes, knowing what i want to do.
- grawprog 6y agoI'm guessing this whole section of the thread went over a few people's heads....hn always does have a bit of a problem detecting ironic sarcasm...
