Nitpicking on a name

Best thing you can do, IMO, is what I did after somebody recently
chided me for attempting to engage the troll in debate: His missives
go straight to /dev/null.

Unless somebody quotes him...

Fixed. Now those, too, will go straight to /dev/null. (Including,
if I did it right, this one...)

Life's too short to waste it on his kind.

Regards,
Jim

There is a claim that MS Office has some features that the OO variants are not on parity with, and for certain this is a fact. I can trivially make a long list of them. On the other hand, the opposite is also true, and I can make a long list of items for which MSO is still far from on parity with the OO variants. After you become used to certain things, you always miss those specific things when you jump on to something else. I see this in office suites, operating systems, hand tools, etc.

For some people, a specific feature will prevent you from switching to another product.

I wish LO had an easier to use macros. I wish that the latest version of MSO (Outlook seems to be the primary offender) did not turn the VM that contains it into a pig even after I doubled the memory allocated to it (it has a tendency to freeze for up to 15 seconds, never had that with previous versions).

Regarding "LO" - the acronym has been in the wild for quite some time:

"Summary

After Apache OpenOffice (AOO) was crashing almost constantly I began
searching for a new free office suite. Once I started using LibreOffice
(LO) crashes were a thing of the past. LO is more stable than AOO and
saves projects to Microsoft formats better than AOO. LO uses the "odf"
format as native but will handle a multitude of other formats. If you
have an older MS Office document that MS Office will no longer open you
will find LO will probably open it fine. Power users will need to
install JRE. The vast majority of people will not need JRE. "
