*Our code is nicer, secure, less german, faster, has more features bla bla* yadda yadda. Big deal, AOO was in transition. So that really does not count.
And most people don't care. Their Libre* name sucks and nobody in the real world knows it or is likely to ever know it if AOO picks up speed again.
If marketing and high Google rankings would have been considered they should have called it FreeOffice. They didn't for ideological reason and now they complain. Quite annoying IMO.
Let's just release good software and let others decide what is what, OK guys? IBM will likely push AOO hard and it will get nice features before LO and then the race is really on.

(Just for the record: I donated money for TDF to get it started in Germany, but I don't have to be happy about the way they behave.)
