@elduvelle Obviously, @libreoffice - hands down as #OpenOffice is essentially #Abandonware due to #Oracle's sabotage.

  • Ideally you'd convert the shitty #OOXML to #OpenDocument beforehand through #MicrosoftOffice as OOXML is a garbage format and #Office including #Office365 can handle .odt, .ods & .odp just fine whereas OOXML was specifically designed to subvert #ISO standards with a 15.000 page spec that is basically impossible to comply with for anyone but #Microsoft!

And in case you prefer the #RibbonUI (no idea why?) #LibreOffice has that available too!

@sjolsen not really, cuz if @tantacrul evidenced one thing, it's that #UI & #UX can be quantified as "good" and/or "bad" and actually implement the best possible option given the workflows at hand (conversely to what @landley once said: #FLOSS can do UI & UX; [tho he also said that consistency is key and #Tantacrul certainly does not just design but also tests this designs more thoroughly than most GAFAMs do their products...])

  • And I do have to give him credit for modernizing applications that indeed need some overhaul, as #Audacity did look like something from #Windows95, #macOS9 or #Amiga (and we all can agree that any application from back then that's still around regardless if #Photoshop, #Cubase or even #Sibelius had to move on and change…).

Personally I do hate the #RibbonUI because it's wasteful in terms of screen space and demands way more clicks and mouse travel in my workflows.

@elfin @tantacrul And no @fuchsiii , I don't consider that #Ribbon #UI because by that metric the menu bars in #MicrosoftOffice 4.2 - 2003 were also #RibbonUI!

@elfin @tantacrul to me the #RibbonUI is just a terrible #UI & #UX because it creates unnecessary mouse travel and makes changing settings - espechally those that are less common - even more labourous!

@elfin the #RibbonUI is just inexcuseably bad for any #ProductiveSoftware as @tantacrul showed with his video about #Sibelius:

  • Because it's wasting not just screen space, but also makes a lot of actions more convoluted, less intuitive and worse to do overall...
