To give a bit of background, I am a chemical engineer involved in analysis and optimisation of a minerals processing facility.This likely means that my usage statistics are quite different from home or casual users however I believe these statistics somewhat reflect the use case in the business world.
Do you use the quick starter? No Writer with Math = 20% Calc = 60% Impress = 20% Draw = 00% Base = 00% Writer and Math: To write technical reports Calc: Massive amount of data being extracted, process and analysed from a third party database. Impress: As business communication tool Draw: Prefer Inkscape and GIMP due to UI and ease of use. Base: Use dedicated multiple MySQL databases due to power and stability requirements >From a business point of view: Widespread use of writer, spreadsheets and presentations. Draw and Base are targeted incorrectly for a business market where Drawings are either very sketchy or a very high standard and databases are designed to be very basic, stable and process critical unlike the features of Base and it's MS counterpart. Spreadsheet to 3rd party database compatibility is very important. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
