    I used OpenOffice until it didn’t work for some reason, I switched to LibreOffice and I haven’t looked back.

      It didn’t for some reason? It didn’t work for a relatively precise reason.

      And that reason is Larry Ellison. He (Oracle) bought Sun, which was leading the OpenOffice.org project.

      At the time Google was still not evil, people thought Facebook was a good idea. It was the time when people actually liked big tech.

      Even then Ellison was already so massively disliked in the industry that the very moment he got his hands on OO.o LibreOffice was created and all contributors jumped ship.
