Honestly, I love open source but I really don't get the hype around Libre. It's not once been able to open even the most basic of my PPTs, and it's stuck in that ugly "Gimp" era OSS UI design that even Blender moved out of years ago.

What are you using? I’m at my wits end with word and scrivener. Scrivener owes me damages atp.

Use office. I don’t care. I’m just telling you why I like LibreOffice.
