@GerryT I personally haven't touched any incarnation of #MSOffice for more than two decades.

And in all honesty, I don't even know how #GoogleDocs looks like.

I have been using every incarnation to what we know today as #LibreOffice since I was back in Law School in the late 90's and on my private practice ever since I've got my Lawyer's degree.

Thank you #libreoffice for helping me get a University degree and my work done ever since!

@gnemmi @GerryT what do you do for collaborative documents? Or are you lucky enough so you don't need that?

@stooovie @gnemmi I need to do lots of collaborative editing (everyone can work at the same time).

Unfortunately, LibreOffice cannot do it yet [1]. Google Docs works nicely with several users -> I frequently use it collaboratively. Collabora Online seems to work nice, but I don't have a server. Microsoft Office (desktop) with Sharepoint/OneDrive frequently crashes and has other limitations, so that I learnt to hate it, and Microsoft Office Online is terrible.

This idea has received a lot of attention inside the organization and the design team
