    Lots of love for LibreOffice.

    Its a great opensource project that just keeps chugging along being great.

    My team and I use it exclusively in our consultancy. Complex documents and spreadsheets all day long. LO never gets tired.

    Without LO id be beholden to Microsoft.

    Apache should really release the rights to the name OpenOffice and let LO have it.
