I always thought wordpad was underappreciated

    Except for those cases where it can’t. There’s always some small, but important, discrepancies. Never have I been able to actually use Libre Writer instead of Word when another party is using Word - same goes for Calc and Excel, sadly. Excel is an absolute UX nightmare for me and I violently hate using it.

      I’ve had zero issues loading .doc and .docx files in Writer, and the same goes for .xls and .xlsx files in Calc. The only thing that might have issues is anything with VBS built-in, but that’s not commonly used and I haven’t run into that yet.

      I will say that I agree with you on Excel’s UX, but with the caveat that spreadsheet programs in general are just a pain (still better than trying to do anything manually in QuickBooks Online, though).

      I wish the whole world would just drop Microsoft office like the bad product it is and went to libre. Yeah, it was innovative when it first hit the scene, but now it’s just become stale and pointlessly expensive.
