This is completely irrelevant. You mentioned Unix as an example of that
philosophy (small, single-purpose programs), then claimed that people are used
to it because ... Android!

This is a shame, as your last set of responses were quite reasoned, now you
have gone back to troll-mode.

Whatever its source, it needs to provide the features needed.

That's not "better", it's exactly what I said

You're at it again with the childish "m$" nonsense. If you want to be treated
like an adult, act like one. If you are insulting me, you've missed the mark.
I'm not asking for copying what Word has, the requirements I have outlined
include things that Word does not do. Or did you not read that because it would
cause cognitive dissonance?

Don't care whether it is LO or OO. I would use whichever it appeared in. I've
made a start on the requirements. OK I did it in the LO Wiki because there is
no place I could find to do the same for OO. My requirements aren't perfect,
they are very high level. But they are a start.

Totally irrelevant.
