Are you really confusing an office suite with a text editor?

Yeah, LibreOffice has shitty icons, terrible templates, it is very boring. Hopefully this new blurred shadows and physics-based animations makes LibreOffice more fun.

Of course not. I've been using it for years. I donated to their project. I just think it's very unexciting to test it or troubleshoot it! I tried once bleeding edge version, it mangled my spreadsheet I had to revert to older version very quickly. 😀😀

Please inform all of this directly to the LO folks, because they are not listening in this forum.

Re: shitty icons; depends on the icon set.

I get that LO should implement such features to be compatible with Office, but what do blurred shadows bring? I personally hate them with a passion, and I despise people who export PDFs from Office documents containing them.
