    Yeah nah. I maybe for light weight every day use yeah. But MS Office is a beast for pros.

    And they have excel. Nothing beats excel.

    I’m not a pro but all the people I know that use it say excel is the best by far

      MS Office is scriptable with basic. LibreOffice, on the other hand, supports basic, python, js, beanshell.

      Both software have there advantages. Scientific research is often done on Linux, and they use LibreOffice. In University, we also used it, because they said it has better functions for our use-case.

      LibreOffice is a really chunky and ugly piece of software.

      During the pandemic, my job handed out Linux laptops with open source software like libreOffice, and after a month, people were secretly using Google Sheets.

        Yeah, “upgrade” is a strong word for something that’s ugly as sin and just about as unintuitive to use

      Yep LibreOffice has felt like a beta for the last 10 years. Whoever makes this suggestion might as well use Notepad, because that’s all the functions they seem to need and it’s probably more stable than Writer anyways.
