    I feel like the entire world needs to take a plunge towards LibreOffice for the good of all.

      I think LibreOffice is an outdated and overall awful piece of software. It's not like Open Source champions like Linux, Blender and Godot at all.

      Its only advantage is being Free. This product couldn't survive in the market if it was paid, arguably at any price. I really tried it to use and love it, but LibreOffice is just terrible.

        I always wonder how people can suggest LibreOffice over Word or Google Docs. Its much worse. Either people are just extremely motivated to use it or they don’t actually use it.

        You are exactly right that it is not an open source success. I wish it were.
