   Google Docs vs LibreOffice - Writer Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Dec 2, 2019

   I indicated that, NO, it's not good as Libre Office. on Google cloud my documents have been lost. I'd rather hold onto my doc's in my tablet - it goes everywhere with me.

    AbiWord vs LibreOffice - Writer Comments

    Negative comment by Guest · Nov 3, 2024

    AbiWord lags functionality to Libreoffice Writer, like Microsoft WordPad lags functionality to Microsoft Word. On the plus side: AbiWord is light weight ( If that matters to you ...)

    Negative comment by Guest · Feb 24, 2017

    Pages has a lot of DTP functionality - AbiWord does not.
