Meeks: Measuring the true success of OpenOffice.orgMeeks: Measuring the true success of OpenOffice.orgPosted Oct 10, 2008 22:18 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433)In reply to: Meeks: Measuring the true success of OpenOffice.org by forthy Parent article: Meeks: Measuring the true success of OpenOffice.org
Furthermore, a lot about OO.o is to make it work with Microsoft's so-called "document formats". This affects design decisions within how OO.o works - and especially affected them in the past. Reading and writing a format full of cruft and legacy already makes a program bloated and full of legacy, not a fun to work with. And that explains only too clearly why I dislike OOo (and PAY to have a copy of WordPerfect on my system - that said, I don't particularly like the new versions of WP - ever since the v9 rewrite!). I find Word a counter-intuitive mess, and I find OOo too similar to Word for comfort (and WP is moving ever closer to Word :-( Cheers,
