Cool! What do you like more about it than MS Office?

I tried it because I wanted to try free (as in freedom) software and never felt the need to switch back as it did everything I required of a WYSIWYG word processor. I guess I have just gotten so used to it now that when I use Word/Excel etc (mostly briefly on someone else's computer) I get all confused about their new panel based menu system.

The point is not that they are better but that they are a suitable replacement for all but a very small niche of power users. But people tend to compare the limit cases even if all they'll ever use are the day-to-day functions.

Well then you're just confirming what I already said...

The Ribbon is almost seven years old now.

And that's how long I've been MS-free :-).

Export to LaTex, for one.
