Anyway, most people don’t want to interact with office type documents, right? The only reason I have it installed is to deal with a problem usually generated by some big organization: documents that aren’t available in an accessible format like Tex, markdown, or html. Let the people generating the problem pay for it.
- ForHackernews 7mo agoYou are in a bubble. Most office workers want Word documents and Excel spreadsheets (or something equivalent) not markdown and numpy.
- bee_rider 7mo agoI don’t think they really want these document formats, usually the requirement is imposed by management.
- roetlich 7mo ago"Managment" usually are office workers.
- aucisson_masque 7mo agoPeople been running libreoffice just fine in french administration. They even prefer it to office because they are used to it now.
- ForHackernews 7mo agoThat supports my point: Office workers want to use an office suite for office work. They don't want to edit markdown and JSON.
- aucisson_masque 7mo agoMy bad if I read your comment wrong. Thought you were saying that workers prefer Microsoft office.
