Review: Hands on LibreOffice 3.3 (Linux.com)
The remainder of LibreOffice Writer's new features were also useful. I liked the page numbering tool, and I really appreciated the new Print dialog box (which is present in all of the LibreOffice tools). I know, it's a little odd to get excited about a dialog box, but I always have found the OpenOffice.org Print dialog box rather clunky, so it's LibreOffice counterpart is a breath of fresh air."

While there is clear evidence that some developer's itches are getting scratched--(SVG import? Really? I've got nothing against vector graphics, but are Draw or the other LibreOffice apps really going to be the editors of choice?) This has been a oft-requested feature for a long time and used to be implemented with a plugin. It allows people to use other packages to create vector graphics which can then be used in presentations [1]. It gives an easy path from Dia, Inkscape and other more specialised graphics software to Impress. [1] Vector graphics are much better than bitmap graphics as they allow the on-screen and printed slides to both be at the maximum resolution of their media. That's very useful for annotated diagrams.

OpenOffice/LibreOffice is an extremely impressive product that doesn't get nearly an equivalent amount of press. I thought it was "good" until I started doing real document management [multi-part documents, 200+ pages, with cross-reference] when I realized it was *awesome*,
