Nonsense. I am an open source fan, but I also call it like it is. There are plenty of domains where closed source is still state of the art and open source options are at best inferior, sometimes laughably so. For example
CAD/CAM
Hardware design: simulation, formal verification, etc.
Video editing (Blender’s video sequence editor is so close to being good, but still has basic bugs unfortunately - hopefully in a few years I can take this off the list)
Audio production, like Fruity Loops.
Office software. Sorry but OpenOffice is still not a patch on MS Office. Last time I tried to use it for a presentation it literally reordered my bullet points. Absolutely bizarre bug.
And there’s a whole host of highly domain specific software that open source will never replace because it’s too niche, e.g. Simulink. I once worked on commercial software that solved for elastic wave modes in pipes. Good luck finding open source software to do that.
I mean, it’s something very little that can go un noticed, it’s unrealistic to think that every single bug can be noticed, it doesn’t happen with corporate software, imagine with open source
Open source always win.

OpenOffice is dead since Apache owns it, you should look in to OnlyOffice or LibreOffice instead
LibreOffice is just a fork of OpenOffice. I believe I was actually using LibreOffice.
Yeah, but it has been forked in 2010 and Open Office final release was in 2011, there are like 15 years of updates
Ah fair enough. I assumed they kept up with each other. Anyway the point stands - LibreOffice is nowhere near MS Office, or even Google Docs really.
I never had any problems tbh, were you on the latest release? It could also have been a one time bug duh
Also, i suggest OnlyOffice it has a nice UI and does some things differently IIRC
A fairly recent version IIRC. May have been a one time bug but it was a pretty hilariously bad one. At the very least it shows poor quality control.
