Verdict

This feature-rich, flexible and, above all, free office suite is much more than a refuge for the anti-Microsoft tendency. It works, it’s reliable and it’s useful... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • Free
  • Fully featured, with good usability
  • Highly programmable
  • Generally good compatibility with Microsoft formats.

Cons

  • Some key features and Microsoft compatibilities are missing
  • Support is via informal user/developer community rather than paid-for.
