Submission + - What's your preferred Office Suite?
dawning writes: Since 1998 I've used LibreOffice (formerly OpenOffice, formerly StarOffice) to meet my Word Processing & Spreadsheet needs. MS Office has a rich feature set, but the price is nothing short of robbery for the typical user (if you're in to Macros, Access and so on, then yeah, MS Office FTW).
Now with Google Docs very well established & freely providing outstanding extras (such as brilliant collaboration tools, web app deployment & cloud storage), I'm more baffled than ever by how many seem desperately married to the first way they learned to do things. It seems people are violently opposed to new ideas. I even recall olympic swimming pools-of-tears when Microsoft innovated with their 2007 UI.
Tell me Slashdoters, why do people hate change more than saving money or improving productivity? Am I (and mine) some sort of freak-human for even caring that other's continue to pay for a "solved" piece of software? Or am I missing something?
