How Does LibreOffice Compare to OpenOffice? (lemmy.ca)

I have heard they’re the main two choices for FOSS enthusiasts. What are their pros and cons?

I have used LibreOffice so far and I’m very impressed with the ui as it is much more visually appealing than IWork and Microsoft Office.

the same way a healthily developing young person compares to their parent in the paliative care ward, whose religious relatives won't agree to turn off the respirator because "look they still have a heartbeat".

Dang the situation is sadder than I thought.

You might be mixing up OpenOffice and OnlyOffice

OpenOffice is dead

OnlyOffice & LibreOffice are the two FOSS programs that people recommend.

Personally I like OnlyOffice a bit better, but I keep them both installed and updated
