I have used Libre Office for years now, just love it.

[rouchar]

I can't stress this enough:
- Free And Open Source software is made by people for the people.
- Paid software is made by companies for the profit.

Always faithful, free, fantastic, fine, futuristic.

Actually I think LibreOffice is so underrated.

Kuddos, sir! What a great video. It talked me off the ledge of buying the perpetual MS Office suite for an arm and a leg. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love Libre office but Calc does not run all the code that Excel has embedded into spreadsheets. In college they taught us to code in Visual Basic for Excel. The code was not compatible with Open Office, which I used at the time. Propietary software makes it hard for business to use Open Source. I only use Open Source in my business and at home. I don't want a license that can be rescinded and lose all access to my work. If MS decides to charge a fee to use their propietary software the world will have to pay up. MS would hold the whole world hostage. Everybody has stand together to prevent that ever happening!

Fantastic presentation of the features and usage of the product. Thank you for doing this!!!

[clair]

👍🏼Nice demo video. Thank you! Will check it out.

The dealbreaker for me is that Calc doens't support tables, which I thought were the bases of any spreadsheet.
I love the new excel functions and use them daily but I can live without them, but not without tables, where I work people fill tables with data then everything else gets calculated and displayed for them, I can't work without calling tables by their name in formulas.

[Practical-IT]

I won't use MS-Office unless mandated for a project.

When it comes down to brass tax, I tell people to use what they want to create a document and then in those cases you can always upload into NextCloud or Google Docs (cringe) or O364 (bigger cringe) for "collaboration" purposes.

I got through grad school using LibreOffice and nobody knew the difference because everything was submitted as PDF.

Excellent video. You struck a nerve at Microsoft with this video because I'm seeing many Microsoft shills in the comments....they're probably bots. Keep up the great work.

I have been using it routinely on my Macs for 25+ years. No complaints at all.

I have Libre' Office installed on every PC I own, Linux, Widows, and even Mac. Now, I am retired and the last time I used the Presentation (Impress) part, although it worked the same way as MS's application, when making a presentation, if what you did in it was played back on MS's app, it did not look the same. (File was quite compatible, just what you saw was not the same as intended.) Of course that was few generations back software wise. So, I even now will say if you develop a presentation using Impress, display it in Impress for the best results. Other than that issue, I was and I believe still is a great piece of software. No one should be using MS's product in my opinion.

Been using Libre for several years. For all these years I have been experiencing a bug - a document that has been open for many hours (without working, just opened in bg) hangs intentionally when im back to it. Only way its kill task and next start need to restore all open documents.
And it sometimes works strangely slow in terms of instant responsiveness (like typing text and letters appear as if with a slight delay).
All this alweys remind me, that this is a free product. But yes, for a free product it is good. Done same job as MS but no cost. For most user its good free alternative with minimal cons.

[funkdrunk]

FYI: I found this video, because Microsoft has just deleted my Excel 2013 without permission, notification, leaving no trace in a trash can. I have deadlines, work to do, and suddenly I have no tool I paid for. I cannot even re-install it because it says I have some beta software on my disk? I cannot download because it wants me to buy again or upgrade to Office 365 or similar. This is unbelievable that a rich company could kick you in the butt like this!

Ive been using Libre Office since 2008

[Afriqueleblanq]

As I head a group of companies, I only allow FOSS and then LibreOffice. This has never failed me. Even clients have to comply if they want help.
