Another chapter of classic software comes to a close. I have always been a fan of this office suite, as it has been a reliable workhorse for my needs. Many thanks to the developers.

One of the main developers of this has been bringing his talents to LibreOffice recently, along with some of the improvements from NeoOffice.

Markdown editors with JS macros & embedded CSVs should have been pushed harder by public institutions instead of proprietary formats & licensing

Markdown is popular in the developer niche but it's actually not that nice for end users at all. Too geeky, too difficult to manage with (in most implementations) 2 different panes etc.

It also lacks most of the capabilities people would expect from an office product now, like accurate placement of text, font selection etc.

I don't see how it is an alternative for something like MS Word at all.

The lack of kitted out editors for it is a bigger problem, plenty WYSIWYG editors exist but primarily for CMS apps only & not for standalone usage.

Markdown is great for simple notes, otherwise it is wacky format for anything more complex.

All my books are written in markdown. B-)

I hear you, though. It is limited and doing things like embedding images (and sharing files with embedded images) is certainly easier in an office suite.
