I don't trust LibreOffice. It's my understanding that it's composed somewhat of former OpenOffice folks, and an OpenOffice glitch consumed several of my important documents/writings. Ironically, I replaced it with Evernote, which proceeded to do the same thing. I'm on Joplin now, fingers crossed and pounding furiously on wood.
I don't understand what's so difficult about writing basic word processing software with an autosave-esque function that doesn't disappear one's thoughts on a digital whim.
- mikro2nd 5y agoOne day in the dim and distant past, OpenOffice ate your homework, so now you're going to hate on LibreOffice, a software suite that was once, years and years ago, forked from OpenOffice and has come light-years since then while OO has more-or-less stagnated. Ooh-kayyy...
- bsanr2 5y agoYes. Because such a fundamental process was faulty, the entire project and anything built on its underlying code has a high bar for trustworthiness. I don't believe the *Office projects are rigorous enough about solving those issues, in the way Blender and other similar projects are. So I don't use them nor do I recommend them. Losing data is unacceptable.

- mapgrep 5y agoThe person you are responding to is correct. I’m a current LibreWriter user and have lost a fair amount of data to it as have people on Word who were unfortunate enough to have collaborated with me. I’m done drinking the kool aid and in the process of switching out.
