    > That would imply people will go back to installing things, hunting for feeds, copypasting urls... Nope. We could have a simple list of feeds, with a simple 'add' button next to t…

    It doesn't matter how much value Word delivers when Libreoffice Writer delivers more, for less (zero) cost. For most people, Writer is enough, and so they won't buy Word. Its just …
