It appears that my next upgrade might be to LibreOffice, in order to remove the "Oracle" stain, but at least I know it's effectively the same thing.
Yep, me too. I was wordperfect fan before Windows and reluctantly moved to it due to necessity (monopoly). I still have a whole bunch of archive files in WP format that I occasionally have to convert to text or word.
