I sure did not like the bloated idea that looks to be read or implied to LibreOffice. Bloated, to me means it takes up a proportionally large amount of drive space. 1 to 2 GBs worth at least. Also bloated means that it is bloated with too many options that are not used by most of its

Hi :) I doubt it. I think LO aims to stay reasonably streamlined. On the other hand if you need seriously tiny then go with AbiWordGnumeric. If you want a Cloud-based solution then Google-docs. MS Office tries to be all things and do everything all in 'one' program. You might have to add extra

Hi :) That makes a lot of sense but i suspect there is yet more complexity. Single purpose apps, such as Gnumeric, don't have to worry about potential conflicts with coding for functionality that has nothing to do with the single purpose of the specialist app. So Gnumeric has tons of
