I very much suspect that LO will be fine until one day it isn't, and you wont realize until you are knee deep in pain that you are paying the price there and then. How much runway you have depends on the nature of the office work that you do. if you are trading complex documents with investors and their counsel for example then you may run into this immediately: docusign is gnarly, document review comments are gnarly, etc. All fixable, but at a time cost you might not have. Conversely if you are writing for consumption and not collaboration, LO might work for years.
The issue isnt whether LO is good (it is) but whether the LO team can compete with a trillion dollar corp that considers 365 as a central pillar of their business, invests in it accordingly, and whose changes to the software become the defacto standard overnight.
- iostream24 4y agoI think you are vastly underestimating the mess Microsoft changes to UI has made on their product lines. I was MCSE certified at one point in time, now I can’t even find the control panel nor does it have the options I knew about, not to mention the registry… Microsoft consistently shoots themselves and their customers in the legs in desperate efforts to ape the young cool kid hipster companies. I think the real question is: how long can a company trust a sinking ship, that, while it still has plenty of money, is bent on destroying everything they built so far? Abandon ship! The captains have gone mad.
