@neal idk maybe?!?!!
-
@evan I voted for LibreOffice, but in reality it was Calc that I used, not Writer. I shouldn't have voted in this poll.
@manu probably not!
-
@evan I checked Libre Office only. Also this month I was teaching my daughter about computer history and we used a dos emulator and created doc with Wordstar.
@mikeblake cool! You know George RR Martin only uses Wordstar?
-
@evan Okay I have used word but please understand
Work.
@Epic_Null this *gestures intimately* is a judgment free zone.

@evan I just want to know who is still using Apache OpenOffice and not LibreOffice and in what context?
@amd why does everyone keep asking that? I didn't want to talk about forks so I included both. If it's important, do another poll.

@evan absolutely ask the poll the way you want.
But OpenOffice is basically unmaintained and full of security issues these days and I’m curious who chooses or is forced to still use it.

@evan At work, we're a Microsoft shop. In my personal life, I use a text editor.
@mpjgregoire did you use word this month?
-
@evan is "none" a valid answer too? Or "Markdown"?
@durchaus well, the question is "of these". None is a valid answer, but you can't respond with it for ActivityPub polls.

@amd good luck on your learning journey.

@evan I used Word most recently on Friday, working on a proposal.
But on the other hand I used Jupyter -> LaTeX -> Emacs -> pdf on Tuesday, a publishing system that gave me much more pleasure. Not something that my colleagues will realistically repeat though.

Apache OpenOffice lists download information here, for everyone who is interested:
https://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html
They say there have been about 390M downloads total. From the stats, I'm estimating somewhere in the low tens of thousands of downloads per day.
