Are you too good for LibreOffice?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoLibreOffice is good for a lot of tasks but it's bloated, and takes time to start up. Wordpad is great for all sorts of quick tasks when you just need to edit a quick RTF like a poster or some basic letter, and don't want to stare at a ribbon full of functions you'll never use.
- drzaiusapelord 3y agoLO for Windows launches with a launcher that pre-loads it a boot time. I find Writer to be pretty pleasantly light-weight on a modern computer. A lot of its performance shortcomings are a bit exaggerated especially on modern equipment.
- toast0 3y agoPre-loading at boot time is a tradeoff, and it'd be nicer not to have to pay it. Cold load times aren't terrible on modern systems, but wordpad is much faster. (Microsoft Office isn't great at fast loading either).
- jiofj 3y agoLibreOffice doesn't come preinstalled with Windows. It also is very bloated compared to WordPad.
