5·2 days agoI don’t think LibreOffice is ‘bad’ either, the functionality is great and the foss license is superior to Onlyoffice
But when I compare it to Word and OnlyOffice (especially OnlyOffice since it’s free and open source) it lacks that polish and good default settings.
Not everything has to be to be VIM, good defaults are very important especially for novice users. And OnlyOffice has understood that very well.
I would like for LibreOffice to succeed. Therefore I hope they take some design cues from OnlyOffice or have a good UI developer even come up with something better. Basically I hope the guy in the post is going to town and heavily modernizes the current default LibreOffice layout.

5·2 days agoI never tried looking into UI options, I use just OnlyOffice nowadays but LibreOffice should consider turning that on by default if it’s an option.
OnlyOffice also has a 10/10 screen when you open it, instantly asking whether you want to open a text document, PDF, make a slideshow etc. It’s just very polished and they actually put effort into the UI.

4·2 days agoNot killing just survivors, a double tap is about killing the people who try to rescue the wounded. It is using the wounded as a trap to lure out anyone willing to help them and kill them too.

3·2 days agoSupport to boycott it is actually fairly big but the political lobby gets in the way. Israel has a massive grip on Europe. The Netherlands is a bit of a surprise in this lineup, they are pretty strongly infiltrated by Israel. Guess they didn’t appreciate what Israel did to Joost Klein.

3·2 days agoI’ll give you an example since you clearly don’t understand heuristics.
Look how OnlyOffice highlights selected buttons with a light gray tint.
LibreOffice on the other hand highlights them with very strong blue color, which draws the users attention and distracts them from the document.
There are many more very bad design choices that LibreOffice makes, but it’s just a cluttered mess in general and can really put in some work to hide away all those buttons. Yes if you know where they are and use them every single day then it’s more efficient, but it takes up a lot of (mind) space to see all those buttons all the time.
