The Document Foundation is back with a new target: the European Commission. It is calling the body out for using Microsoft Excel while ignoring the OpenDocument Format (ODF).
I honestly think this is the trouble with a lot of open source software, unfortunately. People are used to sleek UIs and switching to something dated or just really different looking that is open source can be jarring, even if it may have all the same features as a paid app.
I just took another quick glance at LibreOffice, and the problem is the whole thing is half-baked to the point where the old UI actually is a problem. The dark mode color contrast is almost white on black, and with a white page it makes the menu items hard to read. Fonts are jagged. And the ribbon - which LibreOffice chose to implement at least a year ago now - shows underlined letters on the menu, but they are not accessible using Alt keyboard shortcuts.
