    Why bother making Linux apps if people think that LibreOffice is a 1:1 replacement for MS Office and everything is perfect already?

    Certainly perfect.

        Oh yes, I certainly blame them, however how hard is it to get the spacing on a bullet list correct? Fucks sake.

          Libreoffice is following the formatting you specified in paragraph 1, Word is arbitrarily adding spacing.

            So you’re telling me MS Word that actually invented the format and it is the most popular document editor is doing it wrong. lol

                What a fucking joke. As someone well known once said, if you’re a bug on a software and people start leveraging it and depending on it then it isn’t a bug, it is a feature - the same goes for MS Office, since it has the largest user base and the standard actually came from there then what it renders is actually the correct thing no matter what you may think.

                Yes the ODF is obviously a better standard than OOXML and that’s because ODF was designed from the ground up after seeing the fuckups MS did for years while trying to get something to work. It’s very easy to point fingers after the fact, same way it’s easy to know the lottery numbers of last week’s draw but not for next week’s.
