Why is LibreOffice "absolutely dreadful"?
- bitwize 14y agoSo let's see some examples then. In GIMP, where are the layer groups? The nondestructive editing? These are basic tools to a professional workflow. And don't get me started on CMYK. You cannot do prepress without CMYK support; GIMP was going to get it Real Soon Now for the past ten years and it's still not there.
- jeltz 14y agoThe reason for why no CMYK and why no non-destructive editing is that GEGL development took way longer than expected. Now that more and more of the GIMP core is converted to GEGL I am confident GIMP will eventually get these features. GIMP is the story of what happens when you wait with new features until "the right solution" is completed. Not that I really blame them since they have very few developers.
- vacri 14y agoIf you're doing professional work, you should stump for a professional tool. Otherwise it's like complaining that your family car, though ideal for its purpose, is a load of crap because it can't take pallets.
- sandGorgon 14y agoExcel. pivot tables and VBA sucks (you may NOT comment on what a horrible language VBA is. )
- nodata 14y agoSo the reason why LibreOffice sucks is: Excel? I didn't ask which of the programs in the Microsoft Office suite is better than the programs in the LibreOffice suite, I asked why LibreOffice sucks. Also LibreOffice has Python.
