OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice?

[MetalheadGautham]

I kind of liked KOffice's wordprocessor's layout.
Simple and easy to use.

But yeah I agree its a bit lagging in terms of features when compared to other office suites.

But hopefully as KDE is the world's biggest Qt project, and since Nokia owns Qt, they would do *some* good to it. I never trust large corporates in opensource, but a little help would always be welcome

Its simple economics; projects need developers and developers need money...big corporations have money. Even Open source projects are no exception.
Part time developers are not able to put that much man hours that is required to make a project compete with proprietary ones.
Big corporations can pour in the man hours, so they must be welcome by any Open Source project.

I like open office, it is very much same like MS office.

Libreoffice will be bundled with the next ubuntu distro
read this somewhere that all the big name Linux Distributors are leaving OppenOffice for good

Now I am using Artistx 1.0 in my Laptop which is based on 10.04 Lucid with all the updates, Libre Office version 3.3 installed, no difference with OOo with features and performance,hope future release may trim the code base and boost the speed'n performance..
with regards,

I installed Libreoffice a month back. Not much different from openoffice. Opens a little faster than openoffice. I use Writer and Impress it everyday, no hiccups.

 

[iamharish15]

I am currently using OpenOffice.org in Linux Mint 9 and found it similar to MS Office in features and simplicity,
I haven't tried LibreOffice though, but OpenOffice.org seems like a complete package to me, I will try LibreOffice and share my views about that too!
