Yep, even skipping that world is monopolised by World/Excel, LibreOffice is self-blocking it's own adoption.
I just use it to print long long ago prepared documents so I mainly use "print dialog". And in last ~2 years they degraded that dialog usage at least two times:
- by moving count of pages to print below dialog window so you need to scroll it
- by forcing user to click on document to focus before ^P shortcut starts to work
And how many other things stopped to working in user-friendly way in last years ? Maybe none, maybe it's a lot.
So, to me, LO is sabotaging this software package. LO is fundation just like Mozilla and I suspect they work same agenda: keep collecting money and keep product second or 3rd class. IMO.
MS is happy. Google is happy. LO.Mozilla fund employee are happy. Spy agencies are happy.
Fake no-monopolies can do NOT improve a much.
- unyttigfjelltol 2y agoLO follows a grand Linux tradition of jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none tools. GNUCash, Nouveaux, its all the same. An application that sucks the air out of the room so it becomes a defacto Linux standard, and that "works" only in some minimal way such that proprietary tools remain indispensable. One could be forgiven for inferring they exist in this way because proprietary software providers prefer things this way. I like LibreOffice and have used it exclusively for personal projects for more than a decade. But it's definitely useless for professional - grade work, and getting further off the pace with the advent of M365.
