I just wanted to add that this is obviously not the road I hope LO will take. I
really appreciate all the time and work that goes into LO and wish I could
contribute more to it than a couple of dollars each year and report a handful
of bugs. My motivation for the harsh wording is aptly pointed out by a recent
blog post of the design team: stability is the single most important aspect of
(open) software. Frustrating software is worse than no software at all.

Maybe there's even a way to monetarize LO for Mac to fund its development and
get (back) to a truly stable and pleasant to use version? I think those
"several thousands" of dollars could be a reachable goal if there is a clear
and promising path towards a permanently stable software.

(Collabora Office and LibreOffice Vanilla on Mac App Store looked very
promising to me but keep getting bad reviews as they were buggy from the start,
aren't updated anymore and don't communicate their strategy. Probably focused
on Collabora Online and Enterprise for understandable reasons.)
