My fear is: if AOO exports in OOXML (as LibO does), what will happen to ODF? Most users would just use OOXML since it would be compatible with AOO and MS Office. It may lead to frustration because of the glitches from the conversions. OTOH, it may attract new users.
Personally: I hardly ever do things because of 'rational reasons' of that kind. I dislike the very idea of OOXML to begin with and as a developer I just lost interest in developing for MS Windows when I was about 18. My favourite format is ODF because I do not use MS Office anyway (haven't used it since about 2000) and "odt" also looks nice in a file browser.
But I'm at pains because for me both OpenOffice and LibreOffice are insufficient in terms of quality and robustness and I have started writing stuff in Google Docs because (a) it doesn't crash and (b) it doesn't throw away my text.
And for me a vital issue is the poor undo functionality in both programs.
Every other program out there has 1000x superior undo functionality as compared to LibreOffice and OpenOffice.
The smallest text box in some Browser has better undo functionality than what we have here. And I cannot live without that, because I often have to redo some parts of my text and I cannot constantly save everything for fear I am making a mistake.
Hence, today I write in a browser. At least on Linux. On Windows I have options (most notably just Wordpad).
