I hope they recombine. Now that OO is out of Oracle's hands, the reason for the LO fork is pretty much gone, and nothing is served by two near-identical, but diverging products like this.
At the moment, I'm using LO only for it's (slightly) better docx handling.
I wish OO and LO devs would all join hands, sing Kumbaya, and focus on one Office suite again.
