to me there is no such thing that is too complex for the unix documentation toolchain that you can achieve with libreoffice. i feel the other way around: libreoffice is always a bad choice: * when i need a rich good looking document in which you can easily add graphical material of very different nature (music cheets, chemical or math formula, gantt graph, ...), then [your editor of choice] + pandoc + git + latex + tikz + gnuplot + graphviz + m4 is really the best thing i found * if you need interactivity and animation (which isn't my case): the web is there (i personally use pandoc + pug + livescript (to be replaced by elm) + stylus) the only one case where libreoffice is the good choice is if you mind the learning curve but writting a book is a long process, pay the bill at first to be more peaceful later seems to be a good deal to me. regards. marc
