@libreoffice The biggest advantages are barely & basically glossed over in this blog post & that's the fact that it doesn't require large file sizes to be used nor for devices using it to consistently have internet access, both of which work together to allow it, unlike Microsoft & Apple/IOs to be used on any & all devices with build times from it's initial creation (over 20 years ago) and anywhere after its been installed.

@libreoffice
If the goal of this article is to get more users to switch to LibreOffice, it does a really bad job at that.
It’s trying to make LibreOffice look like the better option, not by praising its features, but by attacking the alternatives.
I don’t foresee many people wanting to switch to it after reading this tirade. The whole “ribbon” issue is a non-argument and a strawman.
I’ve never met anyone serious arguing that lack of a ribbon was the reason they’re not using LibreOffice; which makes no sense in the first place when you say that it does in fact have a ribbon interface you can choose from…?
If you want people to take your side, being smug and trying to make them look dumb via strawmen is a terrible strategy that achieves just the opposite. I’m horrified to see such a vindictive and unprofessional post on the official blog…

@libreoffice I used to proofread a community newsletter, and used LIbreOffice to make any changes. I received the articles that were written with MS Office.
I was asked one day how I could edit the files and have them made smaller without losing the formatting. I told the guy what I was using.

I've tried re-reading this paragraph a bunch of times, and can't make a decent guess at what the author was even trying to say here.

@libreoffice
And the best thing is Fodf ... I like the flat model - it is nice inside git, you can write own tools to extract data without using libreoffice ..
