Story: Alternatives to Microsoft Office

• 
• 

I'm still looking. I would like an alternative that runs on LINUX. I had great hopes for OpenOffice. I was very disappointed when I found they were trying to be an Office clone. Maybe I am just a WordPerfect snob, but the Office UI and operation is IMHO, broken beyond repair. OpenOffice mostly cloned that broken UI. When supposed Word "experts" (i.e., instructors and Tech Editors who have been using it for years) can not make it do what they want there is a major problem with the product. And that is the world of MS Word! It is beyond me why ANYONE continues to use that product, unless they never had the opportunity to use a product that actually worked so do not know any better.

I wish someone would buy WordPerfect and start marketing and supporting it again
