Why would a program whose developers, in the name of destroying the
user
experience, removed features, functionalities, and capabilities. The
only user case in which that is a virtue, is one in which the user has
no qualms about not being able to open documents created with the
software.
After reading some threads on a Dutch review site I can't say I have
really seen any positive reviews or remarks about WPS. Most of that came
down to ill compatibility with MS products. I am sure it works fine on
its own but also cannot save or open(?) in ODT.
I'm not sure if it is still based on OpenOffice?
Seeing the number of changes they have made to their (international)
versions and their name, I don't think they have a very consistent
outlook on the thing. It seems rather 'spurious' or haphazard. Very
successful in China apparently. And the Android app is apparently
greatly recommended over any alternative (so for tablet use etc). Recent
free versions should have less limitations (no watermark on printing)
but may still not save in .docx format.
Personally I generally mistrust Chinese products. I have only once tried
a Chinese email client, and it was not a good product.
I also hardly trust their "phone home" capabilities, but that aside.
I tend to want to filter Chinese products through Japanese or western
agencies ;-).
Also never really happy with the cheap stuff I order from the cheap
websites... it just feels dirty to me, except one time with some plugs.
So I don't really think WPS is a good alternative, but then I also don't
really know what you mean here, Toki ;-).
Regards.
