this scares me.
The last thing we need is cheap consulting messing with open source projects. I don't want TCS and Accenture developing libreoffice or stuff like that and turn it into shit
- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoLibreoffice is already shit. It works don't get me wrong but the project is far behind where it should be.

- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoI wouldn't call it a shallow dismissal. If you used Libreoffice you already know the current state of it. It is slow, buggy, way behind in features compared to MS Office and the UI is a mess. If I tried to take Excel away from my co-workers and gave them Libreoffice Calc there would be a riot.
- 0points 1y agoI introduced libreoffice at work in 2013 while reducing Microsoft dependencies around the office and we had success migrating from Excel and Word for about 20 employees. What bugs are stopping you?

- dvdkon 1y agoIt seems to be working for QGIS, where multiple consulting companies provide probably the majority of the project's manpower. It's certainly a change from fully-volunteer-driven FLOSS without deadlines or promised features, but I think it's for the better for such a large project.
