Does anybody actually use this? Why?

• rdtsc 13y ago
  Exactly. Why? Not only that, who contributes to it, why? Hasn't the train left the station so to speak? Why not just say ok it is called LibreOffice. Most devs moved there. Let's focus on that product. I understand Oracle maybe continuing supporting it on their own dime because they got butthurt, why did Apache Foundation bother? This is in the same boat as Hudson vs Jenkins.

    I was aware of the Hudson-Jenkins duality, but didn't know Oracle is to blame for that one, too. Even if a company needs to defend its trademarks and such, why is there almost a need to ruin everything else in the process?

  Well personally I find the name easier to pronounce ;P When I recommend LibreOffice to people I invariably have to spell it out :(

    I've heard a few people say this. Where are you from? Did people from your area have the same difficulty when the film "Nacho Libre" came out?

      Western Australia. And I don't know, the movie looked terrible so it never came up :)
