in reply to LibreOffice

Why I switched to LibreOffice.
When I open a file in excel (let's say a csv), the app will make all kinds of assumptions on datatypes and and formatting, and just apply those changes. !!Noo msexcel, I DON'T WANT you to drop leading zero's off my numbers-string..!!

Libreoffice will also see those choices, but it will always ask first.
The functional difference between the 2 in a nutshell..
