Without disagreeing with either of your points, I think you need to realize that "better" is not adequate to guarantee use. (If it were, Word would not have displaced WordPerfect.) Enough people are sufficiently intimidated by these tools that they want little more than the comfort of relative familiarity. If LO sacrifices that (not to mention DOC/DOCX read and write), it will be difficult to get people to switch to something better. At least LO has not yet inflicted a ribbon on its users. Virtually every LO enhancement has to weigh the "compatibility" canard. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
