What is surprising is the fact that that when I weigh up all the pros and cons of the different suites, I come to the same conclusion as Vaughan-Nichols that LibreOffice is the best for me, but it certainly has room for improvement. When I survey the other office suites, I find OpenOffice/LibreOffice to be better than the other office suites in many areas, but worse in others. It works, but I certainly have never considered it “the best” as Vaughan-Nichols dubs it. When Oracle bought SUN, Meeks led a community of developers to fork to form LibreOffice, I switched again because it was found in the repositories of my favorite Linux distros.Īfter 15 years of using /Go-OO/LibreOffice, I still consider it to be a rather crude office suite. I followed the debates led by Novell’s Micheal Meeks over the governance of. For years I used Go-OO which was a version of with some enhancements for better compatibility with Microsoft Office, because it was the version I found in Ubuntu and Debian. I have been using some variant of this office suite since SUN first open sourced it as in 2000, because it was the only decent office software in Linux. Steven Vaughan-Nichols at ZD Net calls LibreOffice “ the best desktop office suite,” which surprised me because I have always considered it a rather kludgy clone of MS Office.
