Hello Charles. I am just a new guy here, but I'd like to give a little opinion:
I think that just one day is a too short time to make a real valid opinion about the whole suite. I can be wrong, but much of the article is a little tendentious. However, there some interesting issues in it. He (the author) talks about something like Ms sharepoint or Google Docs. LibreOffice has some extensions to play that role. I can cite GDocs and Wikipublisher, for example (Am I being too naive?). I use LibreOffice at work, at a public company in Brazil. Almost everyone here (500+ workers) use this office suite, so I just don't understand why should the company rely on a journalist recommendation. Despite some people follow "opinion makers", most of the companies follow their own interests. The problem with the horizontal scroll bar, he told, I couldn't reproduce in my computer (I am using Ubuntu 10.04). I couldn't see any JRE erros until now on my system, related to LibreOffice. I haven't experienced all of the suite until this moment, and I think it's gonna take a month, at least, for me to make an opinion about it, because it's a very complex application. Sorry for any inconvenience. Rgds. 2011/1/26 Charles-H.
