#2What is the state of the relationship between OpenOffice and LibreOffice? I remember that there were some licensing issues that caused the fork in the first place. Are they at feature parity? Any chance the two projects will merge ?

#3Maybe I'm being overly fussy. But I think they should polish their UI.
For example https://www.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/EN-Project_images... — the "Properties" button and "Line Type" drop down are completely misaligned.
These design issues add up and end up giving a poor impression of the software, regardless of its features.

Probably. They may need help though - it's a big project with a lot of code that runs on various platforms.
Did you file a bug report, or, if nothing else, drop them an email?

Looking through the change log, clearly they are doing, and clearly it's a big job of work which isn't finished yet.

Why don't you help do something about it then? At least a bug report?

It couldn't be any worse than inkscape's official website[1], targeting designers no less!
I wonder how many thousands have chosen not to install Inkscape as a result of this home page. The first time I went I assumed it was a URL squatter.

#8Wow, much faster startup than 4.0.
I liked

#9Anyone use it along with Apache's OpenOffice? Which one is (in your experience) less buggy/more stable in its current incarnation?
