"However, I have little use for a heavyweight office suite. For example, most of the text-based documents I create are either plain text files or "serious" work created with more powerful tools than Word."
What field are you in, if you don't mind my asking? I really can't figure out based on this statement whether or not you're in MS' target demographic.
- Silhouette 13y agoWhat field are you in, if you don't mind my asking? I work with multiple small businesses, one of which is a vehicle for consultancy/freelance work, so we have some diversity. Everything we do is using creative technologies, whether it's software development, web sites, etc. That means we deal with a lot of technical files (but things like source code or HTML/CSS are all plain text) and a lot of client-facing documentation (but that would typically be done with software like TeX or Creative Suite and probably supplied as a PDF). That doesn't leave a lot for the middle ground where tools like Word are useful, so while we do keep LibreOffice around, it's mostly so we can read word processor documents sent to us and create the occasional simple spreadsheet, not for any of our serious creative work.
