    Haven’t used word in over 20 years and have no intention of ever using it again.

    OpenOffice baby!

        Works great for any and all word processing and spreadsheet that I need.

        I don’t do that much of it anyway so I don’t really need anything more than open office.

        Yes. I know, it’s more popular than open office but I’ve used open office for so long now I don’t want to switch.

          Do you my guy but running an office suite that hasn’t been patched in 11 years is a major security risk. (This is assuming you aren’t exclusively creating and saving documents, but are also opening documents you recieve or download).

            Actually now that you mention it I don’t think I downloaded an ODT documenting forever in a day I mean probably decades.

            But you are right of course there is a security risk but fron what I understand it is being patched just not actively updated?

              downloaded an ODT documenting

              Doesn’t really matter what document format it is, I wouldn’t dare using OO anymore. Maybe they still patch critical CVEs, and maybe no one even attempts exploits because it’s basically just in maintenance mode, but you never know…

              Change isn’t fun, but I don’t think that UI-wise Libreoffice is such a big leap?
