One question - I don¡¯t see Apache Open Office. I¡¯ve been using it since it was Star Office. Tried Libre Office but didn¡¯t like UI as much as AOO. I use Pages &Keynote for new stuff but have a lot of legacy files; also AOO is available on the other operating system.
I didn¡¯t list all of the OpenOffice siblings (LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, and NeoOffice) on my Free Software Web site, because they are all based on the same codebase. I listed LibreOffice, of the three, because it is currently the most advanced (at least in some respects) and most popular. Apache OpenOffice is the least advanced of the three.
I did mention all of the OpenOffice siblings on my Macintosh Word Processor site:

Personally, I find ALL of the OpenOffice siblings to be a huge disappointment is that they still, after all these years, don¡¯t do a really good job rendering complex Microsoft format files. In this regard, I find Free Office to be a much superior product.
