I have little doubt that despite - or perhaps in spite - of the fact that LibreOffice has a larger market, mind and developer share that OpenOffice will persist for years yet to come. Life can only be supported by so long through spite. Eventually, there is either sustained active development or project death. *** Competition is good for product development. However, in this case I think the confusion created is not worth the competition. OpenOffice should yield the market to LibreOffice... of course, this is only my most very humblest of opinions. --Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken. |
