#LibreOffice #foss #OpenSource I love #Libreoffice because it gives you the choice of which interface to use. Because you never have the feeling that someone is constantly looking over your shoulder. And because ODF documents are much more efficient than Microsoft files. I have been using #Libreoffice for many years. I bought my first version in Munich, when it was still StarOffice version 5.2. That was quite a long time ago.
I like LibreOffice because 1) it is intuitive to use, you don't have to read a manual to use basic functions; 2) it is trouble-free to use without Internet in a sandbox (firejail); 3) it can be extended with add-ons; 4) it can read proprietary formats, unfortunately sometimes necessary; 4) its range of functions allows you to have no disadvantages when using free software for word/table/presentation editing.
I don't want to repeat all the amazing reasons that people have already posted, so I'll share that I love #LibreOffice because of the "outdated" interface. I dont like Microsoft's ribbons, and I miss the older versions of office. LibreOffice hits the vibe I enjoy working with and chooses function over fancy menus and confusing navigation.
I love #LibreOffice as I believe in #opensource and all of our #ToolChain should be free for everyone - just like our #data should belong to ourselves. We want free Tools! We need them more than ever! - Besides that #LibreOffice is the Nr. 1 Open Source Tool I use besides @inkscape and @GIMP - Thanks for keeping up these Options! It is a lot of work - but so important to all of us! Thank you! #opentools for Free People! #democracy
I love #LibreOffice as it allows me to earn a living as a freelance writer. Even though I write for many opensource projects it's my most used opensource tool. It rocks.
I love #LibreOffice because personal documents can't be tied to any company or propietary format: they must survive obsolescence for any time length. And for their transparent, predictible flow of improvements.

I can only recommend #LibreOffice It will give you everything that Microsoft charges you for without it costing you a penny. It allows you to just save your work without being “dark path” pushed or forced to save it into a OneDrive “cloud” where they can see your information. It hasn’t got the subscription nonsense of MS365. We use it as Digital Champions with our digitally disadvantaged adults to teach them basic computer skills
