Being in the legal field, I need to transfer documents and be sure they are formatted correctly. LibreOffice is maybe 90% as easy as Word at creating documents, but editing and saving Word files it frequently messes up something. Sometimes it's minor and sometimes it's not, but I'm not going to spend 11⅑% more effort making documents in addition to taking that chance just to avoid Microsoft.
In addition, there's nothing close to Outlook. Thunderbird works okay, but it's definitely not an acceptable replacement. I'd sooner use Outlook's webmail.
- pagutierrezn 4y agoDid you try onlyoffice?
- jesterson 4y agoWould you mind to elaborate what makes you stick to Outlook? Was a heavy user myself but years ago moved to Apple Mail and never look back
- anthonyhn 4y ago>what makes you stick to Outlook? Not that poster, but in my experience there are often plugins that make it difficult to switch from Outlook to other clients. In many cases you can find a replacement plugin, but it takes time and resources to evaluate new software. Also, at a more general level, even though LibreOffice is a good replacement for the base functionality of the Microsoft Office suite, many VBA macros would need to be ported over.
