Story: The problems with open source
Strictly true, but misleading nevertheless...
Open source software doesn't work exactly like the Microsoft products it replaces. That's the good news! Over the years I've found Microsoft Word to be so buggy, that I end up giving up in frustration every time I try to use it for anything more demanding than the simplest memos and letters. OpenOffice.org Writer is much better-behaved, though it too still has some bugs, and its usability suffers from the need to cater to users' familarity with poorly thought-out aspects of the Microsoft operator interface.
So what do I use on large and difficult jobs such as engineering documents and technical manuals? FrameMaker, and a 1993 version at that. It doesn't need to be improved.
