- benatkin 13y agoI meant when will it be good enough. I'm looking for anecdotes, not particulars. Several people in this thread have expressed that at present LibreOffice is much better than OpenOffice. I'm wondering how much better and if enough work is being done on AOO that its expected to catch up anytime soon.
- takluyver 13y ago'Good enough' really depends what you need it for. I understand that LO has more people working on it than AOO, so I wouldn't expect the latter to catch up unless there's some big shift in the landscape.
- brokenparser 13y agoStarOffice was already good enough over a decade ago for me to buy it. Back then, WordPerfect was still around. Today, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are the last of their kind but the latter has a much quicker development pace. They could just box it up and ship it like OpenBSD does, 10/10 would buy again regardless of how they call it.
- keithpeter 13y agoI think you will find the current (4.0) oOo 'good enough'. The differences between oOo 4.0 and LO 4.1 seem to be minor but noticeable. I used oOo for years through the 2.x and 3.0x incarnations and produced a lot of work with it.
