Hi there! I have noticed the difference in the pace of development. LibreOffice fixed my "pet bug" which had been open nearly a decade in OpenOffice less than half a year after I posted it to the LO issue tracker. That is a real dedication by the LO team, and that bug was a showstopper for some labs that had tried to switch to OOo some years ago. > LibreOffice develops faster, has more features, fixes bugs faster, supports > more 3rd party formats better but occasionally has regressions which are > usually fixed quite fast. > > So, both have problems and advantages.

Although the points that you make are in fact relevant to the LO/OOo decision-making process, I do not believe that the "page of differences" is the place to put them. Maybe I will write another page sometime to help people make the decision between the two office suites.
