The problems with LibreOffice are the problems with Microsoft Office. It is a god damned miracle Microsoft Office even works at all. The design is a monolithic do everything fully integrated suite. The combinatorial explosion of interacting features that MSOffice has going on is enough to make a mathematician blush (and the testing staff cry). A super large scale SDLC type one size fits all solution, not based on a generic powerful concept, but a gigantic feature blob that deals with problems as they come. It's a god damned miracle, and LibreOffice is what happens when you don't get a miracle. It's a feature blob, it's buggy (last time on my system it used 100% CPU, and every time I adjusted a field in a dialog box it didn't redraw the background), it has surprising behavior (play with tables some time, now try sizing them). Hey, I'm no fan of Microsoft Office, either. I'd say I like LaTeX, but that's a generic powerful concept with absolutely no concessions made for John Q Hacker. Let alone John Q Pedestrian. Personally, I don't know where to turn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBwS66EBUcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBwS66EBUcY
