Anyone use LibreOffice much? Is it just me or is it shocking?
The only 'Office' stuff I typically need to do on my own PC is write invoices or mock up a quick spreadsheet and I never bothered getting an Office license as Libre is fine.
Yesterday I wanted to throw together a quick letter including photos and bits of text for a surveyor... good Lord is was torturous. Adding photos I could not properly control text flow, sometimes I literally couldn't get the cursor to go after the photo, It was like using Word back in the 90s and this was literally typing a line of text, pasting images from the clipboard.
I can forgive Libre it's clunky interface but I thought the fundamental software was supposed to be pretty decent (the spreadsheet always seems nice). Again if I was editing a Word doc I might understand issues but this was a blank doc with no styles or anything. I bet Wordpad could've done a better job, or google docs!
Was I unlucky or is it actually this terrible?
