@paraphrand totally agree. I don’t understand the thinking behind “walled garden” software.

@paraphrand @clf @apple_enthusiast my only real problem with iOS/macOS is that iWork isn’t ODF compatible which makes it useless for me as I collaborate.

@M33 @henfredemars @apple_enthusiast I’d rather have iWork save in ODF.

@vinnymac @FundMECFSResearch @apple_enthusiast agreed mostly… #apple UI ( #iOS #macOS) is easy, their hardware just works, their multi-device compatibility is super convenient, and their in-house productivity suite (iWork) would be great but for the fact that when you’re collaborating with other people and businesses, especially in Europe, since it doesn’t save or import/export #ODF #opendocumentformat, you just can’t use it.

@fartsparkles I use LiO. Have for years. Memory is t really the issue. It’s useless programs because of the idiocy of extreme walls garden ideology.

@fartsparkles @Zorsith @apple_enthusiast the name change is appropriate for both descriptive and international standards purposes, even if not compliant with nostalgia. Now if they’ed just make iWork ODF compatible for the same reasons so I could use it for actual work instead of it just taking up space on my devices.

@reddig33 tried export tests and too much is “lost in translation”, not as much lost exporting to docx but still not a complete translation. Using LibreOffice and Collabora with ODF and collaborating with MSO users will have to do as there are no problems there. iWork sadly isn’t all that useful as long as it remains closed.
