@neil I'm team OpenOffice. But just cause I'm used to it since 2000 and, in my age, it's hard to get used to sth new.

  @historiavocis @ElBeeToots @joosteto @neil Apache OpenOffice has multiple, unfixed security issues over a year old, so it's strongly recommended to update to an actively maintained successor project like LibreOffice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security

The project has continued to release minor...

  @joosteto @historiavocis @neil Apache OpenOffice is still obsolescent. The only fork that is maintained regularly is LibreOffice.

  Ah, thanks, didn't know that.
  I now see they even link to Apache OpenOffice from the https://www.openoffice.org/ website. So confusing!

  First release of openoffice was in 2002, the final release in 2011. It has now been obsolete longer than it ever was active.
